Netflix is one of the biggest OTT platforms in the world, with millions of users streaming a Netflix series every second. The Witcher: Season 2 is a good example of this which has gained viewership of over 400 million hours in just a week.
For a long time, Netflix failed to captivate the Indian market mainly due to its over-the-top pricing of Netflix subscription plans. However, that is no longer the case as Netflix has rolled out a bunch of affordable plans exclusively for its Indian customers. The company has also partnered with Reliance Jio network offering bundle subscription plans. Overall, Netflix currently offers several plans that cater to a variety of budgets. We’ve compiled all the details here so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.
Netflix Subscription Plans 2022: Price in India, Benefits
Currently, Netflix has four plans in the country. These plans start at Rs 149 and go up to Rs 649. Each plan offers a different number of screens on which content can be viewed simultaneously. Here’s a list of all the plans that Netflix has to offer you:
- Netflix Rs 149 mobile-only plan
- Netflix Basic Rs 199 plan
- Netflix Standard Rs 499 plan
- Netflix Premium Rs 649 plan
Netflix Rs 149 mobile-only plan
As the name of this plan suggests, you can only use it to access Netflix on a smartphone or tablet. The company announced this plan last year after its entry-level plan of Rs 199 proved too costly for users. The Rs 149 mobile-only plan allows for content to be viewed on only 1 screen at a time. As it’s mobile-only, you will not be able to use your Netflix account with this plan on Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast or any other big-screen gadget which includes laptops and iPads. Content can only be streamed on 480p. This plan is definitely useful if you prefer to consume all your content via just your mobile phone. Annually, you will end up paying Rs 1,788 for this mobile plan.
Netflix Basic Rs 199 plan
If you happen to operate Netflix on many devices apart from your phone such as a tablet, computer or TV, then the Rs 199 plan is the one for you. The only caveat is that at any given point in time, Netflix will only operate on a single screen. Content is available in SD resolution only. The annual cost for the plan is Rs 2,388.
Netflix Standard Rs 499 plan
Unlike the Rs 199 plan, which allows you to stream content on only one device at a time, the Rs 499 plan allows you to stream content on two devices (screens) simultaneously at 1080p Full HD resolution. The annual cost for the plan is Rs 5,988.
Netflix Premium Rs 649 plan
The Rs 649 plan is a kind of family plan wherein the account can be accessed on four screens at a time. All content can be streamed in Ultra HD (4K) and the annual subscription cost for the plan is Rs 7,788.
Netflix Price in India, Number of Screens
