JioHotstar has announced a major revision in its subscription pricing, with higher rates coming into effect from January 28, 2026. The changes mainly impact Super and Premium users, while the Mobile will see no increase in quarterly or annual prices. Alongside the price hike, the streaming platform has also introduced monthly plans across all tiers to give users more flexibility. According to the company, the new pricing reflects changing viewing habits in India. More users are now watching content on connected TVs and across multiple devices at home, rather than only on mobile phones.
Under the revised structure, the Premium annual subscription will rise from Rs 1,499 to Rs 2,199, while the Super annual plan will increase from Rs 899 to Rs 1,099. Quarterly prices for both tiers have also been raised. Premium’s quarterly pack will now cost Rs 699 instead of Rs 499, and Super’s quarterly plan will go up from Rs 299 to Rs 349.
For the first time, JioHotstar has introduced monthly plans across all categories. Mobile users can now start at Rs 79 per month, making it easier for first-time or short-term users to access content. The Super monthly plan is priced at Rs 149, while the Premium monthly plan costs Rs 299.

Mobile-only subscribers will not see any change in quarterly and annual pricing, which cost Rs 149 and Rs 499, respectively. However, Hollywood content will now be included only in Super and Premium plans for new users. Mobile subscribers who want access to Hollywood titles will need to buy a separate paid add-on.
JioHotstar clarified that existing subscribers will continue at their current prices as long as auto-renewal is active.
