Licences and music rights

A business that rents out sound and lighting equipment needs the required licences and registration, according to guides for starting a rental business in India. Music played at an event is a separate matter: the music licence issued by PPL India covers only on-ground use of music, according to its tariff information. Before you book, ask the venue and the supplier who arranges the music rights for your event.

Power, size and delivery

Listings describe lights by their power, for example 1 kW and 2 kW halogen spots, and sound systems by the number of guests they cover. State the guest count, the venue size and the power you expect to need. Some rental listings offer doorstep delivery and set-up, which is worth asking for if your venue is in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai.

Season, weather and the venue

The climate is tropical, hot all year with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. An outdoor event in the wet season needs a covered stage, protected cables and equipment rated for outdoor use. Check your event date against the wet and dry months before you book.

Describe what you need to hire, the occasion, number of guests, platform size, power, date and duration, and whether you need a sound or lighting engineer, delivery and installation on BlaBlaPrice. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
