The addition of the Hotstar subscription is beneficial since Hotstar is the streaming partner for IPL 2020. Apart from IPL 2020, the VIP plan also offers LIVE streaming from other sports genres. It also offers access to Hotstar exclusives and Star TV serial shows. It only misses out on the Disney+ content as well as Hollywood services.

There are 100 free SMS messages bundled with this plan. There’s complimentary access to Jio apps as well. The validity you get with this plan is for 56 days.

Apart from this, you can also choose from the Jio Cricket packs. The Cricket Pack starts at Rs 401 for the monthly data plan, a quarterly plan at Rs 777 and an annual plan at Rs 2,599. All these packs come with a free subscription to Hotstar annual VIP subscription.

Jio also updated its JioFiber plans recently and launched a new base monthly plan worth Rs 399. This plan will offer speeds of 30 Mbps with free voice minutes but no subscription to any OTT platforms.
