IPL 2025 Begins Today: Find IPL Data Plans from Reliance Jio, Airtel, and More

The much-anticipated IPL 2025 season has kicked off today, but here’s the deal—free streaming of the matches is mostly a thing of the past. Now, most viewers will need a paid subscription to catch all the live action. This shift has led to telecom giants like Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone-Idea offering bundled data plans that include subscriptions to JioHotstar for access to all the IPL matches.

JioStar, the result of a merger between Disney’s Star India and Reliance’s Viacom18, is eyeing a whopping Rs 4,500 crore in advertising revenue for this season. They have already signed up 20 sponsors, hoping to capitalize on the IPL’s massive viewership.

With over 50 million paid subscribers and a total user base of 500 million, JioHotstar is expected to drive growth in India’s subscription video-on-demand market. Media Partners Asia predicts that India’s SVOD subscriptions bounced back to 125 million in 2024 and are on an upward trajectory.

Now, let’s talk details. Here are some of the data plans being offered by Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone-Idea:

– Reliance Jio: Rs 949 plan, 84 days validity, 2GB data per day, includes JioHotstar subscription for 84 days.
