Netflix To Offer Free Weekend Trials In India

Mumbai: Video streaming major Netflix is reportedly planning to give free access to Indian users for a weekend in order to expand its reach here.

The American company has been witnessing a slow quarter after it stopped giving free first-month access to new users in the US.

In India, Netflix faces competition from Disney, Amazon, and many other local services.

Netflix, previously, had tested a Rs 199 mobile-only plan in India.

Netflix has earmarked $420 million to develop and license content in India by end of 2020. It has also partnered with Reliance Jio Platforms to bundle its app on Jio Fiber and Jio mobile plans.
