Why did you decide?
Netflix says that this decision has been taken given the increasing competition in India and the demand for digital content. The company is facing tough competition from Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime and many other Indian subscription videos on demand (SVOD) companies. Given this, the company has decided to cut the price of all its plans. On the other hand, the increased prices of Amazon Prime have come into effect from today.

Netflix has named the new plans as 'Happy New Prices' and will be applicable from December 14. The price of the company's popular mobile plan has now come down from Rs 199 to Rs 149.

The annual subscription to Disney Plus Hotstar's premium services is Rs 1499. The company's Disney + Hotstar mobile subscription is priced at Rs 499.
Netflix started its services in India in the year 2016. The company's entry-level plan will now be available for Rs 149 instead of Rs 199. Netflix launched a monthly plan of Rs 199 in July 2019.
