Google offers Jio users free Gemini 2.5 Pro access worth Rs 35,100 via MyJio app
When you open the MyJio app you’ll notice Google has slipped its Gemini 2.5 Pro tier into the lineup for free - a deal that works out to roughly Rs 35,100 saved for each subscriber. The offer rolls out through Jio’s MyJio platform, turning the telecom provider into a bridge to premium generative-AI tools that were previously behind a paywall. Along with the free tier, Google is bumping up the limits for image and video creation on the Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models, which suggests they want more people to try the suite on their phones.
It’s unclear how deep the integration will go, but it could change the way everyday apps handle visual content. If you’re wondering exactly what the free tier covers and how to get it, the next section walks through the activation steps and the extra perks that come with the promotion.

Users can activate the plan directly through the MyJio app. As part of the offer, Jio customers will gain access to Google's most capable Gemini 2.5 Pro model via the Gemini app, along with higher limits for generating images and videos using Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models. It will also include expanded access to NotebookLM for study and research, and 2 TB of cloud storage across Google Photos, Gmail, and Drive, along with WhatsApp chat backup for Android users.
Together, these benefits are valued at approximately ₹35,100. The company said the collaboration is aimed at delivering "powerful benefits in people's everyday lives" by expanding access to the company's most advanced AI models. This marks another major AI subscription offer for Indian telecom users this year.
In July, Airtel began offering a free one-year Perplexity Pro plan worth ₹17,000 through its Airtel Thanks app. OpenAI is also offering all Indian users one year of free access to ChatGPT Go starting November 4, as part of its India-focused expansion and ahead of its first DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru. This move signals growing competition among telecom providers to bundle premium AI products into their mobile plans, a trend now continued by Google and Reliance with Gemini Pro.
Will Indian users really make use of the new tools? Google has teamed up with Reliance Intelligence to give Jio Unlimited 5G customers free access to Gemini 2.5 Pro - a package worth about ₹35,100 for 18 months. At first it’s aimed at 18-to-25-year-olds, then it should roll out across the country, and you activate it through the MyJio app.
By bundling the Gemini app with higher limits on the Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 phones, the deal tries to put advanced AI in the hands of a huge audience. Still, it’s unclear how many people will actually turn it on or whether the extra limits will lead to any real-world use. The brief also cuts off details about other features, so we don’t see the whole picture yet.
Still, the partnership is a concrete move toward putting premium AI into everyday mobile plans - even if the impact on engagement remains uncertain. As the rollout continues, watching uptake and listening to user feedback will be key to judging success.
