Indiaemploymentnews July 04, 2026 03:40 PM

Leading telecom company Bharti Airtel has launched a fantastic new prepaid data pack for its users. If you are a heavy internet user who enjoys watching web series or movies, this new ₹200 plan could be an excellent choice for you. This new offering poses a challenge to Reliance Jio's ₹200 pack. Let’s take a look at the benefits included in this new Airtel plan.

**Highlights of Airtel’s ₹200 Plan**
This is an add-on plan. This means you must already have an active base plan on your number to avail the benefits of this pack.

**Data:** You get a total of 30GB of high-speed 4G data with this pack.
**Unlimited 5G:** In addition to the 30GB data, if you are in an area with 5G network coverage, you can also enjoy unlimited 5G data.

**Validity:** This plan comes with a validity of 28 days.
**Additional Charges:** Please note that once the 30GB data limit is exhausted, internet usage will be charged at 50 paise per MB. You can recharge this plan via the Airtel website or app.

**Free OTT Subscriptions Galore**
The standout feature of this plan isn't just the data, but the complete entertainment package that comes with it:

**JioHotstar Mobile Subscription:** You get free access to the JioHotstar Mobile plan (worth ₹149). This allows you to watch live sports, movies, and Hotstar Specials series on your mobile for 28 days.

**Airtel Xstream Play Premium:** This offers free access to over 18 popular OTT apps. These include major names like SonyLIV, Lionsgate Play, Aha Premium, Chaupal, and Sun NXT.

**Direct Competition with Jio’s ₹200 Plan**
Airtel has launched this plan specifically to compete with Jio’s ₹200 data pack. Let’s take a look at what Jio offers in its plan:

Jio's OTT Pass: Jio's ₹200 plan is known as the OTT Pass.
Data and Validity: Like Airtel's offering, this plan provides 30GB of data and unlimited 5G data with a validity of 28 days.

OTT and TV Channels: Jio provides access to over 1,000 live TV channels and 15 OTT platforms. These include premium apps such as JioHotstar, SonyLIV, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube Premium, and Zee5.

The ₹200 plans from both companies are excellent. If you are looking for YouTube Premium or Prime Video, Jio seems to have the edge. However, if you are an Airtel user and want access to a wide range of regional and premium apps, Airtel's new add-on plan is a fantastic deal.
