In this year, the government had implemented the policy of giving a 10-30% discount on the rent
of machines, equipment, and production materials to film producers. The government gave 30%
off to a Nepali producer making films in collaboration with the Institute, 20% off to Nepalis
making films on their own, and 10% off to South Asians. The studio charge per reel was reduced
from NPR 1300 to NPR 1000. This year, the government also decided to return 66 percent of
grants.
