Jio Adds 20GB Free Data to Select Plans Just in Time for IPL Streaming—Here’s How to Get It

As the IPL cricket season grips India, Reliance Jio is adding to the excitement with a data boost, offering 20GB of additional high-speed data for free on select prepaid plans. This move targets its massive user base of over 460 million subscribers, many of whom will likely be streaming live matches on the go.

If you're someone glued to JioCinema for the latest cricket action, this could come as welcome news. But this isn't a blanket offer-it's tied to two specific prepaid plans. Here's a closer look.

What's the Offer?

Jio is giving away 20GB of extra data at no added cost, but only with its ₹749 and ₹899 prepaid plans. Both these plans already offer daily data allowances, so the additional data acts like a buffer for heavy streaming days.

The offer seems well-timed with the IPL, encouraging users to stream matches without fretting over data exhaustion. But it's also a subtle nudge to consider these mid-range plans if you're due for a recharge.

Breakdown of the ₹749 Plan

For ₹749, users get:

• Validity: 72 days

• Data: 2GB per day (144GB total) + 20GB free = 164GB

• Calls: Unlimited voice calling

• SMS: 100 per day

• Extras: Access to JioTV, JioCinema, JioCloud, and other bundled Jio services

This plan is likely aimed at users looking for a balance of affordability and data flexibility, especially for short-term use through the cricket season.

What the ₹899 Plan Offers

The ₹899 plan bumps up the validity and streaming perks:

• Validity: 90 days

• Data: 2GB per day (180GB total) + 20GB free = 200GB

• Calls: Unlimited

• SMS: 100 per day

• OTT Access: Hotstar (for the full duration)

• Other Services: JioTV, JioCinema, JioCloud

This plan is geared more toward users who want slightly longer-term coverage with bundled OTT services that align well with IPL streaming.

What Should You Consider?

Before jumping in, it's worth asking: Do you actually need that much data? If you're a light user who doesn't stream IPL on mobile or already rely on Wi-Fi, this offer might be overkill.

However, if you're on the move and want uninterrupted access to matches and OTT content, the added data does increase the value of these plans, at least for the next few months.
