Introduction
Reliance Jio has launched what it describes as an industry-first three-year unlimited connectivity plan, priced at Rs 10,000, that packs three years of mobile service into a single recharge. The plan, announced on Thursday, 6 November 2026, will be available from Friday, 7 November 2026, through the MyJio app, Jio.com, Jio stores and retail outlets.
For subscribers, the pitch is simple: pay once and stop thinking about recharges for three years.
What Happened?
Reliance Jio announced the 3-Year Unlimited Connectivity Plan on 6 November 2026, calling it the first plan of its kind in the Indian telecom industry. Priced at Rs 10,000, it carries a validity of 36 months, or 1,095 days, from the date of recharge.
Under the plan, subscribers get unlimited 5G data, unlimited voice calling across all networks, 2.5GB of high-speed data per day and 100 SMS per day. The bundled digital services include JioHotstar Mobile with Hollywood content, a 12-month Canva Pro Lite subscription and 50GB of complimentary storage on JioAICloud. Jio said the benefits and the price are locked in for the full three years.
Why Does This Matter?
Until now, the longest prepaid plans in India typically ran for a year. A three-year plan changes the maths for a large group of users: at Rs 10,000 for 36 months, the effective cost works out to about Rs 278 a month, or roughly Rs 9.13 a day. A single payment removes the monthly recharge chore and the risk of a line going dead because a recharge was missed.
The locked-in price is the other half of the appeal. Telecom tariffs in India last rose across the industry in July 2024, and subscribers have watched prices climb in steps over the years. Paying upfront for three years is, in effect, a hedge against the next tariff rise.
Important Details
The plan's headline terms, as announced by Reliance Jio on 6 November 2026:
Price: Rs 10,000, paid once upfront.
Validity: Three years, or 36 months (1,095 days).
Data: Unlimited 5G data, plus 2.5GB of high-speed data per day. Over the full validity, the daily allowance adds up to 2,737.5GB of high-speed data.
Voice and SMS: Unlimited voice calls to all networks, and 100 SMS per day.
Bundled services: JioHotstar Mobile with Hollywood content, Canva Pro Lite for 12 months, and 50GB of JioAICloud storage.
Effective cost: About Rs 278 a month, or about Rs 3,333 a year.
Availability: From 7 November 2026, through the MyJio app, Jio.com, Jio stores, retail outlets and other Jio recharge channels across India.
Note that unlimited 5G needs a compatible 5G device in a Jio True 5G area; the 2.5GB daily allowance is the high-speed data available across networks, and speeds drop once it is used up each day.
Background and Context
The launch comes a month after Jio Platforms, Reliance Jio's parent company, listed on the Indian stock exchanges in October 2026, closing its first day about 21 per cent above its issue price. The listing was one of the largest in Indian market history.
Annual plans already appeal to users who want to avoid monthly recharges, and operators have competed on the OTT bundles attached to them. Jio's three-year plan extends that logic, asking subscribers to commit for three years in exchange for price certainty and bundled services.
What Happens Next?
The plan goes on sale across India on 7 November 2026. Early demand will show whether the three-year format catches on or stays a niche product for heavy users and families.
Rival operators will be watched closely. If the plan sells well, Airtel and Vodafone Idea may respond with their own long-validity offers, which could make multi-year plans a standard feature of the Indian prepaid market. The plan's real test will be whether subscribers are willing to pay Rs 10,000 upfront for a service they usually buy month by month.
What Readers Should Know
Before recharging, check your phone and area support Jio 5G if unlimited 5G is the main attraction; otherwise the value rests on the 2.5GB allowance, the calls and the bundles. Note that Canva Pro Lite runs for 12 months, not the full three years.
Because the payment is upfront, the plan suits users who are confident they will stay with Jio for three years. Anyone planning to port out should weigh the commitment against the saving. As with any prepaid recharge, read the terms on the MyJio app or Jio.com before paying.
