Netflix Mobile Plan Launched for India at Rs. 199 per Month: Here's All You Need to Know

Netflix on Wednesday launched a new lower-priced mobile-only subscription plan in India, after months of testing. The monthly subscription plan is priced at Rs. 199, and it streams only in SD. This plan is only available for mobile and tablet users in India for now and is much cheaper than the original monthly plans that start from Rs. 499. This plan has been tailored exclusively for Indian users, as Netflix looks to tap into a price-sensitive market where data consumption on smartphones is at peak.

The Netflix Rs. 199 monthly mobile plan is available from today, and it brings features like SD streaming, one concurrent stream only, and availability on tablets as well. There's no support for casting on TV with this lower-priced plan. At the time of writing, the plan didn't appear to be accessible. Netflix says more people sign up on mobile in India than anywhere in the world, as a percentage of total sign-ups in India. With this, Netflix gears up to compete better with competitive streaming services like Amazon's Prime Video and Hotstar, a video streaming platform owned by Walt Disney's India unit.
