It has been informed that in order to convert the old cinema halls into multiplexes, the cinemas should have enough seating and space for auditoriums and commercial complexes. Also there should be wider roads, enough parking space and security arrangements in place. The cinemas need at least 18-m wide roads in front and ample parking area in which a 100 square meters space would hold at least three vehicles.

About two months ago, the DDA had given green signal to these cinema halls on a condition that no new temporary cinemas would be allowed to come up and the existing cinemas have been directed to follow norms.

The temporary cinema halls which are likely to be regularised are namely, Swarn in Vishwas Nagar, Seble in Badarpur, Lokesh near Rohtak Road, Suraj in Najafgarh, Hans in Azadpur, Raj in Tilak Nagar and Chandralok in Chittaranjan Park.
