Reliance Jio, India's largest telecom operator, has brought a new prepaid plan that costs Rs 1748. Jio introduced this plan after the removal of the Rs 1958 plan. However, the benefits of the plans aren't the same. Jio's Rs 1748 plan comes with a reduced validity. The Rs 1958 plan came with 365 days of service validity, while the Rs 1748 plan comes with 336 days of service validity. So while the price has been reduced, so has the service validity. This move from Jio is followed by Airtel's similar move to reduce the price of its voice and SMS-only plans by a small margin. Jio has done the same. This is likely because of TRAI's (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's) order to the telcos to reduce the price of their voice and SMS-only plans. Let's take a look at the benefits of the newly introduced Rs 1748 plan from Jio.
