“We are always looking for ways to make Netflix more enjoyable and accessible. We will be testing different options in select countries where members can, for example, watch Netflix on their mobile device for a lower price and subscribe in shorter increments of time. Not everyone will see these options and we may never roll out these specific plans beyond the tests,” said a Netflix spokesperson.
Netflix might be considering launching this new subscription plan in order to increase its Indian user base. Additionally, to fight the stiff competition from other OTT (over the top) service providers like Amazon Prime Video and Hotstar, who provide similar services at a much lower cost.
