JioHotstar introduces monthly subscription plans across tiers from January 28
For new subscribers, Hollywood content will be bundled within the Super and Premium tiers, while Mobile users can access Hollywood titles through an optional add-on.
Mumbai: JioHotstar has announced the introduction of monthly subscription plans across all its service tiers, offering new subscribers greater flexibility in how they access digital entertainment. The revised subscription structure will come into effect from January 28, 2026.
Under the new pricing model, monthly plans will be available across Mobile, Super and Premium tiers, with prices starting at ₹79 per month. The platform said the move reflects changing consumer viewing behaviour, particularly the rapid growth of connected TV usage alongside mobile streaming.
The updated structure offers monthly, quarterly and annual options across tiers. Mobile plans allow streaming on a single device, while Super and Premium tiers support access on two and four devices respectively, including large-screen connected TV environments. Ad-supported viewing will continue on Mobile and Super plans, while the Premium tier will remain ad-free except for live sports and select live events.
For new subscribers, Hollywood content will be bundled within the Super and Premium tiers, while Mobile users can access Hollywood titles through an optional add-on. Existing subscribers will continue on their current plans and pricing without any changes, provided auto-renewals remain active, the company said.
JioHotstar said the pricing revision comes amid strong platform growth, with large-screen viewership seeing significant expansion over the past year. The platform has crossed one billion downloads on Google Play and currently serves over 450 million monthly active users across all Indian pin-codes, placing it among the largest streaming platforms globally.
Commenting on the update, Sushant Sreeram, head of SVOD business and chief marketing officer at JioStar, said the revised subscription framework is aimed at aligning product offerings with evolving audience preferences while supporting continued investments in content, live sports and streaming technology.
The company said the new pricing is designed to strengthen mobile-led discovery while accelerating adoption of connected TV viewing in households, alongside ongoing expansion of its content library across languages and genres.
