P&M Mall Patna: Location, Shops, Timing, Facilities, Connectivity

P&M Mall is one of Patna’s established shopping and entertainment landmarks and holds a special place in the city’s retail history. Opened in April 2011, it was the first major shopping mall in Patna and helped introduce the city to the modern combination of branded stores, a food court, multiplex cinema and family entertainment under one roof. Even after newer malls have opened in the capital, P&M Mall remains a familiar destination for residents of Patliputra Colony, Kurji, Boring Road and nearby areas.

The mall is compact enough for a focused visit but still offers a useful mix of fashion, footwear, beauty, food and movies. Its current official brand directory includes well-known names across several floors, while Cinépolis continues to operate at the property. For visitors, the main practical advantage is its central location on the Patliputra-Kurji side of Patna, where autos, cabs and local road connections are readily available.

Quick About P&M Mall

Where it is located

P&M Mall is located in Patliputra Industrial Area on Patliputra Kurji Road, Patna, near Patliputra Colony and the Kurji side of the city. The official mall contact page lists the address as P&M Mall, Patliputra Industrial Area, Patliputra Kurji Road, Patna, Bihar 800013. Loyola School is another commonly used landmark for the property.

Because the P&M Group also has malls in other cities, visitors booking a cab should use the full name “P&M Mall Patna” and, if needed, add Patliputra Industrial Area or Kurji Road. This avoids confusion with P&M Hi-Tech Mall in Jamshedpur or the newer P&M property in Muzaffarpur.

Shops and Brands at P&M Mall

The official P&M Mall brand directory shows a mix of national fashion, footwear and lifestyle stores spread across the ground, first, second and third floors. Names currently listed include Louis Philippe, Cantabil, NewU, VIP, W, Biba, Spykar, ColorPlus, Mufti, Monte Carlo, Wildcraft, Nike, United Colors of Benetton and Skechers.

The second-floor mix includes Levi’s, Park Avenue, Indian Terrain, Pepe Jeans, Puma, U.S. Polo Assn., Blackberrys, Jockey and Woodland. Women’s fashion and ethnic-wear options on the upper retail levels include Aurelia, Soch and Sabhyata. Store occupancy and stock can change, so anyone travelling specifically for one brand, size or sale should confirm the outlet before leaving home.

P&M Mall Timing

Current business listings commonly show the mall operating from around 10:00 AM until late evening, with one major listing showing 10:00 AM to 11:30 PM. Individual stores can keep shorter schedules. For example, current Puma store information for P&M Mall lists 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, while Cinépolis can run film shows later at night.

For normal shopping, arriving between 10:30 AM and 9:00 PM is the safest practical window. Visitors going only for a late movie or dinner should check the chosen cinema show or restaurant directly because mall access and individual outlet hours do not always match exactly.

Restaurants and Food Options

P&M Mall has a dedicated food-court section along with branded quick-service outlets and other dining choices. The current official directory lists Pizza Hut and KFC, while the food-court mix includes names such as WOW China, WOW Chicken, China Garden, Food Factory, Food Mahal and Wraps N Roll. Other current dining listings around the mall include Khana Khazana and several fast-food and dessert counters.

The food court is useful for families and groups because everyone can choose separately and share the common seating area. Weekend evenings are usually the busiest period. Visitors planning dinner before a movie should arrive with enough time for ordering, seating and cinema security rather than reaching just before showtime.

Cinema and Entertainment

Cinépolis operates at P&M Mall and remains one of the property’s main attractions. Current ticket listings place the cinema on the fifth floor and show regular screenings with facilities such as mobile tickets, parking, wheelchair access and food service. Recent listings also show renovated laser and Dolby auditoriums for selected shows.

Movie schedules can begin before some shops are fully active and may continue after many retailers have closed. Ticket prices, cancellation rules, language, screen format and seat categories vary by film. Visitors should rely on the details shown for their specific booking and keep extra time for security and lifts during busy evening shows.

Facilities Available

• Dedicated visitor parking within the mall complex.
• Lifts and escalators connecting the shopping, dining and cinema floors.
• Cinépolis multiplex with food service and wheelchair-friendly access.
• Food court, cafes and quick-service dining counters.
• Security, common washrooms and regular housekeeping services.
• Gym and fitness facilities listed by the mall operator.
• Banquet and conference spaces for events and functions.

The P&M Group also lists a grand banquet hall and conference halls named Nalanda, Mithila, Takshila and Vaishali within the wider property facilities. Drivers visiting during weekends, festive sales or major movie releases should allow extra time for parking and remember the parking level before entering the mall.

Connectivity to P&M Mall

By Bus

Local buses and shared transport operate through the Patliputra, Kurji and nearby main-road corridors. Routes and stopping points can change, so passengers unfamiliar with the area should use Patliputra Industrial Area, Kurji Road or P&M Mall as the destination reference and confirm the correct stop before getting down.

By Road, Auto or Cab

Road access is the most practical option for most visitors. P&M Mall is connected with Patliputra Colony, Kurji, Boring Road, Digha and central Patna through the surrounding city-road network. Autos and app-based cabs are commonly available. Office-hour traffic and weekend evening congestion can slow the final approach, so moviegoers and diners with fixed bookings should keep a buffer.

By Railway

Patna Junction is the city’s main railway station and can be reached from P&M Mall by road. Pataliputra Junction is another useful station for trains that stop there and may be more convenient for some passengers travelling from the western side of the city. Always check the station printed on the ticket before planning the last-mile journey because Patna Junction and Pataliputra Junction are separate stations.

By Air

Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport is the main airport serving Patna. The mall requires a road transfer from the airport by cab or other local transport. Travel time varies with traffic, especially during office peaks and evening hours, so passengers with a flight connection should avoid planning a tight mall visit immediately before departure.

Nearby Areas and Landmarks

Patliputra Colony, Kurji, Boring Road, Digha and Rajiv Nagar are useful nearby area references. Loyola School is a commonly used landmark for the mall, while Patliputra Industrial Area and Patliputra Kurji Road are the clearest address references. Visitors coming from central Patna should share the exact mall name with the driver rather than relying only on the locality.
