Reliance Jio is preparing to bring back its Prime membership programme, according to a report by The Economic Times. Jio first introduced Prime in 2018 for its first 100 million customers.
The reported relaunch comes shortly after Airtel withdrew several mid-range prepaid plans, including the Rs. 299 pack.
Jio Prime membership
Jio is now planning to reintroduce Prime for its customer base of over 500 million users. The programme will reportedly offer a one-year price guarantee, ensuring that a customer’s tariff or plan does not change during the period.
“Jio Prime Membership Programme was originally created as an act of gratitude to Jio’s first 100 million customers. It is reintroducing the programme to provide assurance of price guarantee and a range of additional benefits, for Jio’s family of over 500 million users,” a source told The Economic Times.
Jio Rs. 299 plan
Jio is also planning to add the following benefits to its Rs. 299 plan, which offers 1.5GB of data per day:
- JioHotstar subscription
- 5,000GB of Google Cloud storage
- Free access to Google’s AI engine, Pro Google Gemini
Availability
According to the report, Jio Prime will be available to existing prepaid and postpaid customers for a joining fee of Rs. 300. Customers on other networks will reportedly be able to enrol by porting their number to Jio or activating a new Jio connection.
Jio has yet to officially confirm the Prime membership relaunch and the revised benefits for its Rs. 299 plan.
