JioHotstar Introduces Monthly Plans Across Tiers, Giving Viewers More Choice in How They Watch Their Favourite Entertainment

National, 21st January 2026: JioHotstar, India’s biggest premium entertainment destination, 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 the platform 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 the need for customised 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 individuals streaming on smartphones, as well as families seeking high-quality premium entertainment on Connected TVs at home. Large-screen consumption of JioHotstar has seen explosive growth in the last 11 months since launch, and the new pricing is aimed at continuing to offer a delightful experience for all consumers.

Hollywood entertainment will be included within the Super and Premium tiers for new subscribers, while Mobile users can continue to access Hollywood content through a flexible add-on, allowing viewers to customise their experience based on their preferences.

To avoid any disruption, existing subscribers will continue on their current plans and prices without any change, as long as auto-renewals remain active.

This update comes at a pivotal moment in JioHotstar’s growth. The platform has crossed 1 billion downloads on Google Play and now serves 450+ million monthly active users across 100% of India’s pin-codes, placing it among a very small group of platforms globally to operate at this scale. With more than 300,000 hours of entertainment across languages and genres, JioHotstar promises to delight and entertain all of India. The updated subscription framework is designed to support deeper living-room and Connected TV experiences, mobile-led discovery and inclusion at scale, and continued investments in content and technology.
