Reliance Jio has introduced an exciting new prepaid recharge plan that allows users to stream content from its integrated OTT platform, JioHotstar, at an unprecedentedly affordable price. This move follows the merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar, creating one of India’s most comprehensive streaming services.
The Rs. 100 Prepaid Recharge Plan
The newly launched Rs. 100 prepaid recharge plan offers users a complimentary ad-supported subscription to JioHotstar for 90 days. This plan is designed to provide an accessible entry point for users looking to enjoy JioHotstar’s extensive content library without committing to a paid subscription.
Key Benefits:
- Complimentary JioHotstar Access: Users get 90 days of ad-supported streaming on JioHotstar, which typically costs Rs. 149 for three months.
- Data Benefits: The plan includes 5GB of high-speed internet data. After exhausting this allowance, users can continue browsing at reduced speeds (64kbps).
- Validity: The plan has a validity of 90 days, aligning perfectly with the JioHotstar subscription period.
JioHotstar Subscription Options
JioHotstar offers multiple subscription plans to cater to different user preferences:
- Ad-Supported Plan: Starts at Rs. 149 per month, allowing streaming on one mobile device in 720p resolution.
- Premium Plan: Priced at Rs. 299 per month or Rs. 1,499 annually, this plan offers ad-free streaming across multiple devices in higher resolutions.
Other Jio Plans with JioHotstar Benefits
In addition to the Rs. 100 plan, Jio offers several other recharge options that include JioHotstar subscriptions:
- Rs. 195 Cricket Data Pack: Includes 15GB of high-speed data and a 90-day JioHotstar subscription, ideal for sports enthusiasts.
- Rs. 949 Prepaid Plan: Offers 2GB of daily data, unlimited voice calls, 100 SMS per day, and a 90-day JioHotstar subscription.
Significance of This Offering
This new Rs. 100 plan represents Jio’s commitment to making quality entertainment accessible to a broader audience. By bundling JioHotstar access with affordable data plans, Jio is positioning itself as a one-stop solution for both connectivity and entertainment needs.

This extensive content offering, combined with Jio’s telecom infrastructure, presents a compelling value proposition for Indian consumers.
As Jio continues to innovate with such bundled offerings, it sets a new benchmark in India’s competitive telecom market, potentially prompting similar offerings from other providers.
