Coronavirus effect: Reliance Jio offers double data for these plans

Since the Coronavirus outbreak in China in late 2019, pandemic has spread to more than 120 countries. So far, more than 250,600 have been infected with covid-19 and close to 10,260 have died.

With each passing day, India too is seeing an increase in coronavirus infections. To curb further spread, government and private companies have started Work From Home (WFH) initiatives for employees. Even colleges and schools have been shut down around the country.

However, to get the work done, the internet has become an essential requirement. Corporates with big pockets can afford to have super-fast broadband, but others such as salaried class and students mostly depend on the mobile cellular networks to access web services.

Now, Reliance Jio, in a bid to help the consumers, has announced new tariff plans ranging between Rs 11 and Rs 251 with double the data and also extra talk time with the non-Jio numbers.

For instance, Rs 11 pack can get you instant 800MB data and 75 minutes of talk time with the non-Jio contacts. Previously, it offered 400MB data.
