|March 18, 2025
PUTTING AN END to speculation around Indian Premier League (IPL) moving behind the paywall, Reliance Jio on Monday said users can still watch India's most-watched sporting event for free if they subscribed to a special tariff plan.
A new recharge plan launched by Jio starting ₹299 will enable its mobile users to watch the IPL on the JioHotstar streaming platform for 90 days—essentially the entire duration of IPL (March 22 to May 25). The offer also includes a 50-day trial of Jio AirFiber, its wireless broadband service, aimed to boost home internet adoption with high-speed sports streaming. Jio users who already have a mobile recharge plan on their phone and want JioHotstar content can buy a ₹100 add-on pack.
