as introduced a new data-only recharge plan priced at ₹100, offering 5GB of data along with a 90-day Jio Hotstar subscription. This comes after Jio removed the free JioCinema benefit from its existing recharge plans following the JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar merger.

📺 Jio Hotstar Subscription: ✅ Yes (Mobile + Smart TVs, up to 1080p)
📞 Calling/SMS: ❌ No

Unlike the standard Jio Hotstar Mobile plan (₹149 for 90 days), which only works on mobile phones, this new plan supports streaming on smartphones and smart TVs at up to 1080p resolution.
