A testimony INOX’s technology focus is INOX Megaplex, the world’s first cinema with six different cinema viewing formats. Located at Inorbit Mall, Mumbai, INOX Megaplex houses IMAX, Samsung Onyx LED, ScreenX, MX4D and INSIGNIA formats. INOX also offers Laser Projection and Dolby Atmos experience to its patrons.

As we become the first cinema chain in the country to use these versatile amplifiers, we are all set to be more energy-efficient, cost-efficient and space-efficient. We are proud to pioneer one more technology intervention into the country with this deployment.”
