Streaming platform JioHotstar has announced a major change in its subscription plans.
Starting January 28, 2026, the company will increase prices for its Super and Premium plans for new users.
At the same time, it is introducing monthly subscription options across all plans to give viewers more flexibility.
This update is part of JioHotstar’s effort to adapt to changing viewing habits and payment preferences.
What Is Changing in JioHotstar Plans
The price hike mainly affects the Super and Premium tiers.
While the Mobile plan remains affordable, the quarterly and annual prices of higher plans have gone up by as much as 46%.
Existing users who have enabled auto-renewal will not be impacted immediately.
They can continue using their current plans at the old price until their next renewal cycle.
Monthly Subscription Plans Now Available
For the first time, JioHotstar is rolling out monthly plans for all tiers, including Mobile, Super, and Premium.
Monthly subscriptions start at ₹79, making it easier for users who prefer short-term access or do not want to commit to long annual plans.
This option is ideal for occasional viewers or those who want more control over spending.
New JioHotstar Pricing for New Users
Here is the expected pricing structure for new subscribers from January 28, 2026:
Mobile Plan
Monthly: ₹79
Quarterly: ₹149
Annual: ₹499
Super Plan
Monthly: ₹149
Quarterly: ₹349
Annual: ₹1,099
Premium Plan
Monthly: ₹299
Quarterly: ₹699
Annual: ₹2,199
The Super plan supports streaming on up to two devices in Full HD.
The Premium plan allows streaming on up to four devices with 4K quality and an ad-free experience, except for some live content.
Why JioHotstar Is Making This Move
The price revision reflects rising investments in premium content, live sports, and large-screen viewing experiences.
With more users watching content on smart TVs and connected devices, platforms are adjusting prices to match content quality and demand.
At the same time, monthly plans give users the freedom to choose how long they want to stay subscribed.
Final Takeaway
JioHotstar’s latest update brings higher prices but greater flexibility.
New users will pay more for Super and Premium plans, while existing subscribers can retain their current rates if auto-renewal is active.
As competition among OTT platforms increases, this change shows how streaming services are balancing pricing, content value, and user convenience.
