Headline: JioHotstar Premium Ad-Free Plan May See Significant Price Hike, Leaks Suggest

New Delhi, India – JioHotstar, one of India’s leading streaming platforms with over 300 million paid users, is potentially planning a significant price increase for its Premium Ad-Free subscription plan, according to recent leaks circulating online.

Screenshots reportedly shared on Reddit by tipster Abhishek Yadav show a potential increase in pricing for the ad-free tier. If the leaks are accurate, the three-month Premium Ad-Free subscription could jump from ₹499 to ₹799, while the annual plan might see an increase from ₹1,499 to ₹2,499.

While the price is expected to increase, the features remain consistent, subscribers continue to access on up to four devices, including mobile phones, computers, and smart TVs. The plan also allows ad-free streaming of movies and shows, though live events such as sports will continue to include ads.

JioHotstar continues to offer Ad-Supported plans, starting at ₹149 for three months (single device) or ₹299 for three months (two devices). There is currently no suggestion of a price hike for these ad-supported tiers.

In related news, some users have reported a limited-time or trial promotion offering the Premium subscription for as little as ₹1. Screenshots shared on social media show users accessing full Premium benefits, including ad-free content, 4K playback, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and access across four devices, for a token price.

Neither Jio nor Disney+ Hotstar have officially confirmed the reported price increase for the Premium Ad-Free plan or the promotional ₹1 offer. The latter, if genuine, appears to be a user-specific promotion or a test rollout, reportedly available even to non-Jio subscribers.

Subscribers are advised to monitor their accounts and await official announcements from JioHotstar regarding any changes to pricing or promotional offers.
