Reliance Jio has updated its prepaid recharge plans in August 2025, affecting subscribers across India. The telecom company has discontinued its ₹209 and ₹249 daily data plans, previously offering 1GB per day for 22 and 28 days, respectively. These plans are now only available through physical retail outlets, while online recharge options for them have been removed.
Jio has introduced a new base tariff of ₹299 to replace these plans, aligning with competitors like Airtel and Vodafone Idea. Budget-conscious users who relied on the ₹209 and ₹249 plans now face slightly higher monthly expenses to maintain consistent mobile data access.
Jio continues to offer a wide range of prepaid plans for different user needs:
- ₹198 plan: 2GB per day for 14 days
- ₹299 plan: 1.5GB per day for 28 days
- ₹349 plan: 2GB per day for 28 days
- ₹1,199 plan: 3GB per day for 84 days
- ₹2,025 plan: 2.5GB per day for 200 days
- ₹3,599 plan: 2GB per day for 365 days
Comparison of selected Jio recharge plans:
| Plan Price (₹) | Data per Day | Validity (Days) | Special Features |
| 198 | 2GB | 14 | Standard 4G/5G |
| 299 | 1.5GB | 28 | Unlimited Jio to Jio calls |
| 349 | 2GB | 28 | Unlimited 5G data |
| 1,199 | 3GB | 84 | Long-term plan, unlimited 5G |
| 2,025 | 2.5GB | 200 | Extended validity, unlimited 5G |
| 3,599 | 2GB | 365 | Annual plan, no monthly recharge |
All prepaid plans offering 2GB per day or more now include unlimited 5G access, giving subscribers uninterrupted high-speed internet. The annual ₹3,599 plan allows users to recharge once for the entire year, eliminating the need for monthly recharges while ensuring continuous connectivity.
Jio’s updated recharge structure offers flexibility to users with different data needs, whether for short-term heavy usage or long-term moderate usage. While the removal of the lower-cost plans may require some adjustments, subscribers still have multiple options that provide value, high-speed 5G access, and extended validity periods. Users are encouraged to assess their usage patterns and choose the plan that best fits their requirements.
