Reliance Jio has officially launched an aggressively priced add-on plan called Jio TV Pro. For just ₹55, the telecom giant is opening the gates to more than 1,000 live TV channels for a 30-day validity period, targeting budget-conscious users who prefer streaming television directly on their smartphones without paying for bloated, expensive bundles.
The plan is designed specifically as an entertainment booster for both prepaid and postpaid subscribers. Available immediately via the MyJio app, this add-on unlocks a massive catalog of premium High-Definition (HD) channels that were previously hidden behind higher-tier paywalls or restricted on the standard, free version of the JioTV app.
The Content Ecosystem: Who is Included?
The new JioTV Pro subscription leverages Jio’s massive media ecosystem. Viewers gain access to content spanning over 16 Indian and international languages. The pack aggregates networks from major broadcasting powerhouses, including:
- JioStar (the powerhouse media joint venture)
- Sony Group Corporation
- Sun TV Network (dominating regional southern programming)
- Warner Bros. Discovery
Additionally, the JioTV application continues to function as an aggregator, pulling in on-demand programming from platforms like Sony LIV, ZEE5, and MX Player to give users a unified interface.
The Major Catch: While the ₹55 pack covers extensive entertainment, news, movies, and regional content, it does not include premium live sports broadcasts from JioStar or Sony. Sports enthusiasts looking for live cricket, football, or marquee athletic events will still need to purchase higher-tier individual platform subscriptions or standalone data-and-content bundles.

Market Impact: The Battle for the Indian Screen
Jio’s entry price point is a direct challenge to competitors like Bharti Airtel, who also offer live TV integration but typically tie it to higher-value monthly smart packs. By unbundling the content from massive data packs and offering it as a pure ₹55 “add-on,” Jio lowers the barrier to entry significantly.
While the bundled 10MB of data is essentially negligible (meant only as an emergency buffer to keep the account active if your main data runs out), the pure value lies entirely in the television access. For millions of regional viewers who rely on their phones for daily entertainment, Jio has effectively turned the smartphone into a highly affordable pocket television.
