Reliance Jio and The Walt Disney Company have officially completed the merger of their media businesses, marking a significant shift in the Indian entertainment landscape. The newly formed joint venture, JioStar, will serve as a one-stop platform for content from both entities.
With Nita Ambani appointed as chairperson, the JV is valued at $8.5 billion post-merger. JioStar aims to revolutionize access to digital content in India with its plans priced as low as ₹15 per month. The platform, accessible via jiostar.com, is set to cater to diverse audiences with regional and language-specific packs across both Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) formats.
JioStar offers a range of SD and HD packs tailored to suit various preferences. Here’s a breakdown:
JioStar Standard Definition Packs
- Star Value Pack Hindi: ₹59/month
- Star Premium Pack Hindi: ₹105/month
- Star Value Pack Odia Hindi Mini: ₹15/month

JioStar also offers à la carte plans, allowing users to select individual channels and pay only for what they watch. This flexible approach mirrors popular DTH models but integrates seamlessly with JioStar’s digital platform.
