Reliance Jio, the largest Indian telecommunications operator, was surprisingly the first to announce tariff hikes after the 2024 Spectrum Auction. The new tariffs, which went live in July 2024, have seen revisions across both prepaid and postpaid segments. However, Jio continues to offer a wide range of recharge options to its customer base of over 476 million wireless subscribers as of June 2024, according to TRAI. In this story, let’s take a look at all the 1-year validity (365 days or nearly one year) prepaid plans from Reliance Jio.
As of this writing, according to the website/app, Jio offers five yearly plans across its prepaid portfolio. Let's explore them in order of highest to lowest pricing.
