He also said the company is studying the Indian market's readiness for its other product Dolby Cinema.
"This calendar year we plan to install Dolby Atmos in 100 screens/theatres. Last year the number was less than 50 screens. Most of our growth comes from multiplexes. There are some stand-alone theatres that are modernising and installing Dolby Atmos systems," Pankaj Kedia, Senior Regional Director-India, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Dolby Singapore Pte Ltd, told reporters in Chennai on Thursday.

According to him around 200 Indian movies have Dolby Atmos sound technologies and globally the number is around 465. Even local versions of Hollywood movies are mixed with Dolby Atmos technology, Kedia added.
Queried about the launch of Dolby Cinema in India, Kedia said the company is studying the Indian market's readiness for it.

"Our business model is different for Dolby Cinema. It involves joint investment in theatres," Kedia said. On the other hand Dolby is in discussions with direct-to-home (DTH) players in India offering high definition broadcast service for its Dolby Audio solutions.
