Explaining the price hike, Amazon said,“Since the launch 5 years ago in IN, Prime has continued to increase the value it offers members. Prime provides an unparalleled combination of shopping, savings, and entertainment benefits to make life more convenient and entertaining every single day, and we continue to invest in making Prime even more valuable for customers.”
Now, existing Prime members who are currently enjoying the service at the existing prices will be able to continue their membership till their current plan ends. However, following the termination of the current plan, they will need to pay the new Rs. 1,499 annual price to renew their membership.
The price change will also affect Prime Youth members aged between 18-24. You can check out Amazon’s officialterms and conditions page for the Youth offerto know more about how the price change will affect these members. Other than these, customers who got their Prime membership as part of the telecom plan will also feel the brunt of the price hike. So, Amazon urges those customers to contact their telecom partners after the price change.
