Reliance Jio launches budget-friendly ₹895 plan with 336 days validity

Reliance Jio has unveiled a new prepaid plan that’s creating waves—offering nearly a year’s validity (336 days), unlimited voice calls, and 24 GB of data, all for just ₹895. This plan could be a game-changer for budget-conscious users and a direct challenge to rivals like Airtel and BSNL.

What Makes the ₹895 Plan Stand Out?

Validity: 336 days

Unlimited voice calls: Across local and STD networks

SMS: 50 SMS every 28 days

Data: 2 GB every 28 days, totaling 24 GB over the plan duration

This plan is tailor-made for users who want long-term connectivity without burning a hole in their pocket—especially those who don’t need heavy data usage but want to keep their number active for calls and basic usage.

Here’s the Catch:

The plan is exclusively available for users of JioPhone and Jio Bharat Phone. Smartphone users are not eligible, as this plan is specifically aimed at the lower-income segment or those using Jio’s feature phones.

Other Affordable Options from Jio

Another attractive plan is the ₹949 recharge, which comes with:

84-day validity

2 GB data per day

Unlimited calls and SMS

Hotstar subscription

Unlimited 5G data for eligible users

Market Snapshot

As of January 2025, Reliance Jio continues to lead the Indian telecom market with over 460 million subscribers, according to TRAI. Airtel remains a close second and even outpaced Jio in new user additions that month. Meanwhile, Voda-Idea and BSNL are trailing, with both seeing a steady drop in their customer base.
