Mukesh Ambani-led Jio has discontinued its 1.5GB-per-day prepaid pack with 84 days of validity, priced at Rs 799, as of Wednesday.
The move comes just two days after the operator scrapped its entry-level 1GB-per-day plan for prepaid users.
The plan, which bundled unlimited calls, 100 daily SMS and access to Jio apps, was no longer visible on Jio's official website.
Instead, an upgraded version priced at Rs 899 was visible, with benefits mirroring that of the now-scrapped plan.
The new plan, however, also includes JioSaavn Pro, according to the listing on the Jio website.
With the development, the Rs 889 plan has become Jio’s only option for users seeking 1.5GB daily data for 84 days.

The removal comes amid broader adjustments in the telecom sector.
Earlier this week, Jio eliminated its entry-level Rs 249 plan that offered 1GB of data per day for 28 days, effectively pushing up the floor for data-heavy prepaid packs. Rival Bharti Airtel, meanwhile, recently increased the price of its Rs 249 recharge to Rs 299.
According to June data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Jio added 1.9 million wireless subscribers, extending its lead over rivals.
Meanwhile, active user data showed contrasting trends in June: Jio and Airtel expanded their base of engaged subscribers, while Vodafone Idea (Vi) and BSNL continued to lose ground.
Jio led the market with 464.46 million active users, accounting for 97.37% of its total subscriber base, followed by Airtel with 388.04 million (99.24%). Vi’s active user base slipped to 172.65 million (84.54%), and BSNL reported the weakest engagement, with just 57.10 million active users, or 63.12% of its total.
