Reliance Jio, India’s leading telecom service provider, has recently implemented significant changes to its offerings. The company has expanded its entertainment domain services by introducing new products like JioTV OS, JioHome, and Jio TV+.
Jio also offers various prepaid plans catering to entertainment needs, including some with free Netflix subscriptions. These plans have been popular due to the rare inclusion of complimentary Netflix access.
However, Jio has now announced price hikes for these prepaid plans that come with free Netflix subscriptions. The company has also made substantial changes to its mobile tariffs, with price increases ranging between 12-27 percent. Additionally, Jio has restricted access to unlimited 5G services.
This tariff hike comes after a gap of two and a half years for Reliance Jio. The new pricing structure has been effective since July 3, 2024, marking a significant shift in the company’s pricing strategy.
These changes reflect Jio’s efforts to balance its service offerings with market realities, potentially impacting its position in the competitive telecom and digital entertainment sectors.
Let’s look at the plans offering Netflix subscriptions, whose price has increased, and the offers that the plans include.
Rs 1,099 plan is now Rs 1,299: The Rs 1,099 Reliance Jio Prepaid plan’s price has been hiked by Rs 200. The new plan is priced at Rs 1,299. This plan will offer Rs 149 monthly free Netflix Mobile subscription and a validity of 84 days. Along with it, you can avail of 2GB mobile data per day, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS per day.
Rs 1,499 plan is now Rs 1,799: The Rs 1,499 plan has received a hike of Rs 300, thus the new plan amounting to Rs 1,799. With this plan, you will gain a free Netflix Basic subscription and a validity of 84 days. The plan offers 3GB mobile data per day, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS per day.

On the other hand, medium-range mobile service plans have undergone tariff hikes of about 19-21 percent. All of these changes are now live on the Jio website and My Jio app.
