When Amazon Prime was launched in India back in 2016, it was priced at Rs. 499. This was an introductory offer and Amazon Prime membership was later hiked to Rs. 999 per year. Now, the subscription is set for another price hike most likely later on this year. An exact date for the hike has not been unveiled yet.
Now, the popular e-commerce platform has revealed that the telecom plans that offer complimentary Prime services will be getting a price hike as well. This is quite obvious as the Amazon Prime membership services are getting a hike themselves. So, it only makes sense for the bundled telecom plans to increase their prices as well.
