As it is looking to expand its presence in India, Netflix India is reducing the prices of its plans. The new subscription plans start from Rs149 per month, down from Rs199 earlier. The company also makes investments in dubbing and subtitling content, which is aimed at a broader audience. The new pricing plans are effective from today, December 14. To get started, you can sign up for a monthly plan for Rs149.
The company has reduced subscription prices in the country by 60%. It has renegotiated the prices for all its plans and users can now avail the service for a discounted price starting today. This move is likely to boost Netflix's growth in the country, where millions of people use smartphones and tablets to stream TV shows and movies. This move comes at a time when the company is facing revenue loss in the US and is looking to expand its viewer base outside of the US.
The price cuts will also affect the number of new subscribers that Netflix has in India. Its basic full service plan, which offers 480p picture quality, will now cost just Rs 149 per month, bringing the cost down by more than 60%. The price of the standard plan, which offers 1080p picture quality, will remain the same at Rs 649. Hence, the overall cost of its plans will remain the same.

Apart from cutting prices, Netflix has also introduced a mobile plan that lets subscribers watch their favourite movies and TV shows on their smartphones and tablets.
