Airtel Plans 2026: Data, OTT Bundles and 5G Benefits Compared

Airtel prepaid plans in September 2026 start at Rs. 349. The Rs. 399 plan offers 2.5 GB per day. The Rs. 449 Maxx delivers 4 GB. Full plan list with OTT bundles and 5G details here.

Airtel’s prepaid recharge plan portfolio in September 2026 runs from Rs. 349 to Rs. 3,999. The current entry point for a 28-day plan is Rs. 349. It provides 2 GB per day with unlimited 5G in eligible coverage areas. The Rs. 299 plan was discontinued in August 2026. Every plan above Rs. 349 in the current portfolio adds either more daily data, a longer validity period, or a richer OTT bundle.

Every Airtel recharge plan listed below includes unlimited national calling and 100 SMS per day. Unlimited 5G access applies over and above the daily data limit in Airtel 5G network areas with a compatible 5G device. A 300 GB commercial usage limit applies per 30-day cycle under Airtel’s Fair Usage Policy. This threshold is designed to prevent commercial exploitation of consumer lines. Standard personal streaming and browsing does not approach this limit under typical use.

For Airtel prepaid recharges, Bajaj Pay, the Bharat Connect payments platform on Bajaj Finance, shows the exact plan amount before you confirm, through UPI, cards, or net banking.

Airtel 28-Day unlimited 5G plans compared

Three base Airtel prepaid recharge are confirmed for September 2026. All include unlimited 5G access in eligible areas.

Plan (Rs.) Daily Data Cycle Data Unlimited 5G OTT Bundle Effective Daily Cost
349 2 GB/day 56 GB Yes Adobe Express Premium, Apple Music (6 months), Airtel Safe, HelloTunes Rs. 12.46
399 2.5 GB/day 70 GB Yes Circle-specific OTTs Rs. 14.25
449 (Maxx) 4 GB/day 112 GB Yes Google One (30 GB), Xstream Play Premium (22+ OTTs), Adobe Express Premium, Apple Music (6 months), Airtel Safe, HelloTunes Rs. 16.04

 

The Rs. 449 Maxx plan delivers the widest OTT bundle in the 28-day range. Google One adds 30 GB of cloud storage for the plan’s validity. Xstream Play Premium covers SonyLIV, Lionsgate Play, Aha, Chaupal, SunNxt, and 22 or more platforms. Adobe Express Premium is a 12-month benefit worth approximately Rs. 4,000.

The Rs. 399 plan suits subscribers who need more daily data than Rs. 349 provides but do not require the full Maxx bundle. OTT inclusions for the Rs. 399 plan vary by telecom circle. Verify the specific bundle for your circle at airtel.in or through the Airtel Thanks app before recharging.

Airtel OTT add-on packs: Layer extra benefits on your base plan

Three data packs can be added on top of any valid base plan. Each targets a specific streaming need without requiring a full plan upgrade.

Pack (Rs.) Data Unlimited 5G OTT Inclusions Validity
100 Blockbuster 6 GB No Xstream Play Premium (19 OTTs including SonyLIV, Lionsgate, Aha, Chaupal, SunNxt) 30 Days
200 Box Office 30 GB No Prime Video Mobile Edition, Zee5 Premium, Hotstar Mobile, Xstream Play Premium 28 Days
279 Housefull 30 GB No Netflix Basic, Hotstar Super, Zee5 Premium, Xstream Play Premium 1 Month

 

A subscriber on Rs. 349 who adds the Rs. 279 Housefull pack gets Netflix Basic and Hotstar Super. These sit on top of the daily data allowance from the base plan. The combined spend of Rs. 628 delivers more OTT variety than any single 28-day plan at that price. None of the add-on packs include unlimited 5G access that benefit stays with the base plan only.

Airtel 56-day plan: Recharge every two months

The Rs. 649 plan was discontinued in August 2026. The confirmed 56-day option in the current portfolio is Rs. 838.

Plan (Rs.) Daily Data Unlimited 5G OTT Bundle Validity
838 3 GB/day Yes Amazon Prime Lite, SonyLIV and 18+ OTTs via Xstream Play 56 Days

 

The Rs. 838 plan costs approximately Rs. 419 per month effective. That is more than the Rs. 349 28-day plan on a monthly basis. The premium buys an extra 1 GB per day and a wider OTT bundle that includes Amazon Prime Lite alongside Xstream Play’s network.

Airtel annual plans: One recharge for the year

Plan (Rs.) Daily Data Unlimited 5G Effective Monthly Cost Validity
3,599 2 GB/day Yes Rs. 300/month 365 Days
3,999 2.5 GB/day Yes Rs. 333/month 365 Days

 

The Rs. 3,599 annual plan costs Rs. 300 per month effective for 2 GB per day with unlimited 5G. A subscriber currently recharging twelve times a year with the Rs. 349 plan spends Rs. 4,188. Switching to the Rs. 3,599 annual plan saves Rs. 589 per year and eliminates the monthly recharge task entirely.
