Organize grants and provide tax relief for theatre production and exhibition.
Why this status
Cabinet approved a Rs. 50 million 2026 allocation for projects promoting drama, performing arts and literature at national and regional level, including support for new drama productions and performances and facilities around cinema clusters. This is direct public support for theatre and related arts, but the promise also requires tax relief and the evidence does not show a dedicated tax-exemption package or full production-and-exhibition grant scheme.
