Frequently
Asked Questions
How Does The 40% India Film Cash Rebate Work For Foreign Productions?
Foreign feature films, television shows, and streaming series can claim up to 40% reimbursement on Qualifying Production Expenditure (QPE) incurred in India, with a maximum cap of ₹30 Crore (~$3.6M USD). Ramoji’s production accounting team assists with pre-approvals, expenditure tracking, and post-production auditing.
Can We Bring Our Foreign Camera, Lens, And Lighting Equipment Into India?
Yes. Foreign equipment can enter India duty-free under an ATA Carnet. Our regulatory department provides customs facilitation and bonded transit directly from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) to Ramoji Film City. Alternatively, productions can utilize our on-site inventory of ARRI Alexa 35, Sony Venice 2, and specialized grip packages.
How Are Cast Privacy And High-Profile Security Managed On Set?
Ramoji Film City is a gated, 2,000+ acre private property with round-the-clock perimeter monitoring and biometric access gates. A-list actors and directors can reside in private villas at Hotel Sitara and transit to active soundstages via closed VIP access roads within 2 minutes without external exposure.

We accommodate both long-lead tentpole planning (6–12 months in advance) and rapid turnarounds (2–4 weeks). Digital scouting packages with 3D models and technical specs are provided within 48 hours of initial script breakdown.
