Streaming platform Netflix is testing cheaper weekly plans starting at Rs 65, according to reports. These new plans are reportedly available for select users. Earlier, Netflix confirmed to Republic World that the company is planning to conduct tests in terms of different plans and options across select countries where users can stream Netflix on their mobile device for a lower price and shorter validity. So, we can assume that this latest development might be a part of Netflix’s much bigger strategy to expand its reach further into the Indian market.

Those who do not wish to buy a monthly plan can rather go for a weekly plan instead. There are four different weekly plans to choose from: Rs 65, Rs 125, Rs 165 and Rs 200 and all of these plans have different benefits to offer.

Netflix Rs 65 plan

Rs 65 mobile-only is essentially Rs 250 monthly plan. The plan is valid only for mobile users. Meaning, it offers access to a single mobile or tablet screen. Of course, Rs 65 weekly (Rs 250 monthly) plan will not make Netflix accessible to any other device including PC, laptop, Smart TV, etc. What’s more, it doesn’t even offer access to HD or 4K content.

Apart from that, Netflix has three monthly existing plans to offer in India: Rs 500, Rs 650 and Rs 800. Interestingly, these three plans can also be used weekly for a lower price, as stated above.
