Netflix offering weekly mobile-only plan for Rs 65

New Delhi, April 8 (IANS) Content steaming platform Netflix is experimenting a weekly mobile-only plan for Rs 65 -- the lowest ever cost it has offered its services in, exclusively in India.The mobile-only plan allows users to watch content on just one smartphone or tablet screen at a time, according to media reports last week.The new plans appearing on Netflix India's website lists the weekly mobile-only plan for Rs 65, basic plan for Rs 125, standard plan (two screens allowed) for Rs 165, and ultra plan for Rs 200 (four screens in 4k).However, the mobile-only plan does not support shows in HD or 4K quality. Despite bringing what seems to be the most affordable plans, Netflix still remains the most expensive over-the-top (OTT) content streaming platform in India.Other OTT players like Amazon Prime Video and Hotstar Premium charge Rs 199 each per month with added benefits. Being the world's second-largest smartphone market with cheapest data rates, India has become a major focus point for international content and music streaming platforms. Recently, Apple Music slashed down its previous Rs 120 per month pack rate to Rs 99.
