(Web Desk) - The Punjab government has decided to establish a Film City Authority to promote and develop the local film industry.
A draft law, the Punjab Film City Authority Act 2025, has been presented in the Punjab Assembly. The proposed authority will support film production, television dramas, and documentaries.
Under the bill, the Punjab government will provide funding for the authority. It also envisions the introduction of a comprehensive film policy, along with new rules, regulations, and a licensing system. Filmmakers are expected to benefit from improved facilities, permits, and a one-window operation to streamline processes.
The legislation also aims to attract both local and foreign investment by offering special incentives. Additionally, it seeks to promote Punjab’s culture, tourism, and positive image through film and media.
The bill has been referred to a relevant committee for review, which is expected to submit its report within two months. Following approval, it will be presented again for final passage in the assembly.
