Reliance Jio New Plan Update: Discontinued Value Plans and Introduction of ‘Hero 5G’
If you’re a Reliance Jio prepaid user, this news is important for you. A few months ago, Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea increased their mobile recharge rates, making significant changes to their plans. Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio had revised the prices of many of its plans at the time. Now, Jio has announced another major update: the discontinuation of three popular value plans with limited data and unlimited calling.
Three Discontinued Jio Plans

These plans, which combined limited data with unlimited calling, are no longer available for recharge.
Introduction of the ‘Hero 5G’ Plan
Reliance Jio has introduced the ‘Hero 5G’ plan as an alternative for users. The plan, starting at ₹349, is currently the most affordable unlimited 5G plan offered by Jio. Key features include:
- Unlimited Calls: Talk as much as you want without any restrictions.
- Daily SMS: 100 SMS per day.
- Additional Benefits: Access to Jio apps like Jio TV, JioCinema, and JioCloud.
Competition with Airtel
Jio’s ‘Hero 5G’ plan is comparable to Airtel’s ₹979 plan, which also provides similar benefits, including unlimited calling, daily SMS, and access to 5G services.
Conclusion
While the discontinuation of value plans might be disappointing for some users, Jio’s focus on 5G plans signals its intent to lead the market in next-generation connectivity. Users can explore the new ‘Hero 5G’ plan for affordable and comprehensive benefits.
