5 Films, Full SGST Refund: Odisha Govt Makes a Bold Move to Boost Its Film Industry

Odisha has announced a 100% SGST refund for five socially impactful films—DAMaN, Delivery Boy, Zwigato, 12th Fail, and The Sabarmati Report. This bold move under the Odisha State Film Policy, 2019, is designed to boost cinema attendance, support filmmakers, and strengthen cultural identity. Similar to U.S. state tax breaks for Hollywood, Odisha’s policy could transform its film industry and attract global talent.
