Reliance Jio is making a big play ahead of the IPL 2025 season, rolling out a promotional offer that’s set to grab the attention of cricket fans across India. Just days before the tournament kicks off, the telecom giant has announced free JioHotstar access and a broadband trial for both new and existing customers.
What’s on Offer for Cricket Fans?
Jio is making it easier than ever for its users to stream cricket matches in high definition. Anyone activating a Jio SIM with a plan of Rs. 299 or higher between March 17 and March 31, 2025, gets 90 days of JioHotstar access for free. This means uninterrupted IPL action in 4K on both mobile devices and televisions.
The free streaming service will be activated on March 22, right in time for the tournament’s first match. That’s a major win for fans who don’t want to miss out on a single ball.
Free JioFiber and AirFiber Trial
The promotion doesn’t stop with mobile streaming. Jio is throwing in a 50-day free trial of its JioFiber or JioAirFiber service, giving users access to a robust home entertainment package.
- Over 800 live TV channels to choose from
- More than 11 OTT platforms included in the package
- Unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi for seamless 4K streaming
This deal means not just IPL action but a full-fledged home entertainment experience—at no extra cost.
Who’s Eligible and How to Activate?
The offer is open to both existing and new Jio customers, but there are a few conditions to keep in mind:
- Existing Users: If you already have a Jio SIM, you can activate the offer by recharging with a Rs. 299 plan (or any plan with at least 1.5GB of daily data) between March 17 and March 31.
- New Users: Those purchasing a new Jio SIM and activating a Rs. 299 or higher plan within the same period will also qualify.
- Recharged Before March 17? No worries. Jio has introduced a Rs. 100 add-on pack that lets early rechargers get in on the offer too.
For more details, users can simply place a missed call to 60008-60008 or visit Jio’s official website or retail outlets.
What’s the Catch?
There’s no long-term commitment or hidden charges. The JioHotstar access lasts for 90 days, and the JioFiber/AirFiber trial runs for 50 days. If users want to continue the services beyond that, they’ll need to opt for paid subscriptions.
While this offer sounds great for cricket lovers and home entertainment enthusiasts, one thing is clear—Jio is using IPL fever to solidify its hold on India’s telecom and broadband markets.
