Reliance Jio has partnered with Disney Hotstar to provide streaming for free with the purchase of a prepaid plan. Many of these prepaid plans are quite affordable meaning Disney Hotstar’s penetration in to the Indian market is going to increase massively once these deals roll out.
The new plans have introduced the subscription for Disney Hotstar, and will surprisingly be offered at the same price. Now that the new season of the Indian Premier League has commenced, more people would be inclined to be subscribed to Disney Hotstar, so they can watch it from their Televisions but also from the comfort of their hand-held devices.
Reliance Jio has pounced on this surge in demand and has quickly formed a partnership with Disney, as they have the rights to broadcast the tournament in the country. Around 400 million people watch each IPL game which is truly a mind-boggling number. Due to this, combined by the fact that Jio is offering plans at very affordable rates, the number of Jio users is also set to increase a lot.
People who plan to purchase Jiofiber, their internet and WIFI service provider can also receive a free subscription of Disney Hotstar. Everyone on the Rs.999 plan and above get Disney Hotstar without paying any extra.
