Delhi Aims for Bollywood Spotlight: New Film Policy Unveiled at CIFF
The Delhi government unveiled an ambitious new film and tourism policy on August 9, 2025, aiming to catapult the capital into the top ranks of India’s film production hubs. The announcement was made during the prestigious Celebrating India Film Festival (CIFF), currently underway until August 10th.
The policy promises a dedicated budget allocation for film-related initiatives. This financial commitment is expected to significantly boost the city’s infrastructure and attract major productions.
A key feature is the introduction of a single-window clearance system. This streamlined process aims to expedite approvals and reduce bureaucratic hurdles for filmmakers.
The CIFF, with its screenings, panel discussions, and performances, provided a fitting backdrop for the announcement. The festival itself underscores Delhi’s growing importance in the cultural landscape.
This policy shift could revitalize Delhi’s film industry, creating jobs and boosting the local economy. Its success will hinge on effective implementation and collaboration between the government and the film fraternity. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether Delhi can truly seize this opportunity to shine on the cinematic stage.
