On Tuesday, Reliance Jio made a significant announcement by extending its popular unlimited plan priced at ₹299 and above until April 15. This extension is designed to cater to both new customers and existing subscribers, providing a wealth of entertainment options during the highly anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

The unlimited plan, which was initially introduced on March 17, comes packed with a variety of benefits. Subscribers will enjoy a complimentary 90-day subscription to JioHotstar, which allows streaming on a single device. In addition to this, the plan includes a generous 50-day free trial of JioFiber or AirFiber, granting customers high-speed internet access right in their homes.

One of the standout features of Jio’s unlimited pack is the extensive content it offers. Subscribers will have access to over 800 TV channels, ensuring that they can watch their favorite shows, movies, and live events. Furthermore, the plan grants access to more than 11 over-the-top (OTT) streaming applications, providing an array of entertainment choices that cater to various viewer preferences. Customers can also benefit from unlimited Wi-Fi data, making it easier than ever to stay connected and stream content without worrying about data limits.

This strategic extension of the unlimited plan is a calculated effort by Reliance Jio to capture a larger share of the market as cricket fans around the nation tune in for IPL matches. By offering enticing incentives, Jio aims to attract new subscribers while retaining their existing customer base.

To take advantage of these benefits, current Jio users can choose to recharge with the ₹299 plan or a higher-tier plan that starts at a value of ₹299 and includes 1.5GB of data per day or more. Prospective subscribers can also enroll in the same plan and enjoy the associated perks. Those who recharged prior to March 17 can still benefit from the JioHotstar offering by adding a ₹100 pack to their account.

By enhancing their service offerings, Reliance Jio continues to solidify its position in the competitive telecom industry, delivering exceptional value to its customers during an exciting time for sports and entertainment enthusiasts.
