Amid growing competition in the Indian video streaming market, Netflix is actively trying to ramp up its subscriber base. The popular streaming giant has rolled out to HD video quality to two of its base plans. Netflix silently upgraded the “Mobile” plan starting Rs 199 per month and “Base” plan starting Rs 499 per month to High Definition (HD) quality. The video quality will now be 720p. Previously, both plans were limited to 480p video quality. Other plans remain the same for now. The “Standard” Rs 649 plan offers Full HD 1080p video quality and the top of the line “Premium” Rs 799 plan offers 4K/UHD video quality. However, do make a note that the updated plans are part of Netflix India’s testing and they may not be rolled out to the public.

Updated Netflix Plans Were Available in India Since Earlier February
Netflix India said the better video quality has been available since early February in India. However, this is likely for a limited time period as the streaming company said they are testing this feature. “We are always looking for ways in which to make the Netflix experience more immersive and enjoyable for our members. At the moment, this is a test, and might not be rolled out widely,” a Netflix spokesperson told Gadgets 360.
