JioHotstar, today announced an updated subscription proposition for new subscribers, effective January 28, 2026. As part of this, JioHotstar will be introducing monthly plans across all tiers to ensure JioHotstar continues to be a deeply accessible and inclusive entertainment brand. In addition, the brand will be making adjustments to the rest of the pricing to better reflect consumers’ evolving content preferences and need for customized large-screen experiences.
The new structure introduces greater flexibility with monthly plans now available alongside quarterly and annual options across tiers. Monthly plans are being introduced specifically to make access to JioHotstar easier for both individuals looking to stream on their smartphones, and also families looking for high-quality premium entertainment on their Connected TV at home. Large-screen consumption of JioHotstar has seen significant growth in the last 11 months since launch, and the new pricing is aimed at continuing to offer a consistent experience for all consumers.
