Hotstar has come up with a new subscription pack just a few days ahead of the IPL cricket league. Well, this is a move taken by the subscription service to cash in on the upcoming cricket season. Called Hotstar VIP, this annual subscription pack is priced at Rs. 365. Notably, this plan is one of the affordable video streaming plans available in India though it offers limited content to the users.

Hotstar VIP plan details

With Hotstar VIP subscription pack, users can access all live sports including the English Premier League and IPL. Usually, these tournaments are popular among the Indian audience. The plan also gives access to Hotstar Specials that are the service provider's original web-only shows. It also brings Star India's TV serials to users at 6 AM before the actual television broadcast. The other content available on the platform is meant only for the premium subscribers.
