Amazon Prime Lite made its debut in India in June this year. It offers a cost-effective alternative to the company's standard annual Prime subscription. The budget-friendly package offers many benefits similar to the standard Amazon Prime subscription, including two-day deliveries and access to the Prime Video catalogue, albeit with some limitations. Notably, Amazon Prime Lite does not offer access to Amazon Music, Amazon Gaming, and Prime Reading. The e-commerce site has now reduced the price of the Amazon Prime Lite annual subscription in India.
Amazon Prime Lite Subscription Price in India
At launch, the Amazon Prime Lite was priced at Rs. 999 for one year. According to a listing on Amazon's customer service page (first spotted by MySmartPrice), the annual subscription price has been reduced to Rs. 799.
The standard Amazon Prime subscriptions remain unchanged. The annual subscription costs Rs. 1,499, while the one-month and three-month Prime subscriptions are listed at Rs. 299 and Rs. 599.
Amazon Prime Lite subscription benefits
With an Amazon Prime Lite subscription, users can enjoy many benefits similar to those of regular Prime users. They are eligible for two-day delivery on select items at no additional cost, as well as one-day or same-day delivery options.
No-cost EMI options are also allowed for Amazon Prime Lite users, similar to standard Prime users. You can access morning delivery options to eligible addresses for Rs. 175 per item with a Prime Lite membership. There is also no minimum order value to qualify for free delivery. With the Prime Lite plan, you can also avail a non-urgent delivery option to get a cashback of Rs. 25 on your order.
Most Prime Lite restrictions come with Prime Video access. While the entire Amazon Prime Video catalog is available to Prime Lite users, they can only access Prime Video content on mobile phones at a maximum resolution of 720p. Live sports and TV shows on the Prime Lite membership come with ads, while regular Prime users have an ad-free experience.
