What Changes For Jio Prepaid Users
Reliance Jio launched the Google AI Pro benefit for prepaid customers and gave it to them free of charge. The subscription carried a stated value of Rs 35,100 and ran for 18 months. New users signing up now do not receive it, while existing claimants retain access.
In place of the Google benefit, Jio has added Canva subscriptions to its prepaid lineup. Canva Pro, worth Rs 4,000, comes with the Rs 399 plan, which includes unlimited voice calling, 2.5GB of daily data and 100 SMS per day. The same plan bundles JioGames Mobile, JioHotstar Mobile with Hollywood content, FanCode through JioTV and 50GB of JioAICloud storage. Canva Pro is not available with any other Jio prepaid plan.
Canva Pro Lite, worth Rs 1,590, is available more widely. Users who recharge with the Rs 349 plan, or any plan with 2GB of daily data or more, get a complimentary 12-month Canva Pro Lite subscription. The benefit is claimed through the MyJio app, and each unique phone number can receive it only once.
Jio Platforms' Listing Plans And Network Scale
Jio Platforms filed a draft red herring prospectus with SEBI in June 2026 for an IPO of about $4 billion, comprising a fresh issue of up to 270 million shares, or roughly 2.9% of post-issue equity, according to akta.pro company records. The records state that about 75% of net proceeds are earmarked for Rs 27,500 crore of debt prepayment at Reliance Jio Infocomm.
