JioHotstar has announced a revision in its subscription pricing, increasing rates for its Super and Premium tiers while rolling out monthly plans across all categories. The new pricing framework will come into effect from January 28, 2026.
Under the updated structure, quarterly and annual plans for Super and Premium users will cost more, reflecting changing viewing habits. According to the platform, a growing number of users are shifting towards connected TVs and multi-device viewing, leading to a sharp rise in large-screen consumption over the past year.
While Mobile plan users will see no change in their quarterly and annual prices, higher-tier subscribers will pay more for longer-term packs. The Premium annual plan has been increased from ₹1,499 to ₹2,199, and the Super annual plan has gone up from ₹899 to ₹1,099. Quarterly prices for both tiers have also been revised upward.
At the same time, JioHotstar has introduced monthly entry-level plans, starting at ₹79 for Mobile users, aimed at first-time and short-term viewers seeking flexibility.
Additionally, Hollywood content will now be included for new Super and Premium subscribers, while Mobile users can access international titles through a paid add-on. Existing subscribers will continue at their current rates as long as auto-renewal remains enabled.
JioHotstar currently boasts over one billion downloads on Google Play and reaches more than 450 million monthly active users across India.
Commenting on the change, Sushant Sreeram, Head – SVOD Business & CMO, JioStar, said the revised pricing aligns with evolving audience preferences. He noted that the update is designed to offer greater choice and flexibility, while supporting continued investment in premium content, live sports, and a high-quality streaming experience at scale.
