JioHotstar on Monday announced a revised subscription structure for new users, introducing monthly plans across all tiers starting from as little as Rs. 79 per month. As per the streaming platform, this move is aimed at making the platform and its content more accessible, while also aligning pricing with changing viewing habits and rising large-screen consumption of JioHotstar. The new structure brings monthly JioHotstar plans, which will be available alongside the existing quarterly and annual options.
JioHotstar will continue to offer three subscription tiers — Mobile, Super, and Premium. The former two are ad-supported plans, which means that while consumers get access to JioHotstar content, they will still see advertisements, the streaming platform said in a press note.
