Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale: Popular e-commerce platform Amazon has announced its new iteration of its Prime membership plan for users in India, according to Moneycontrol. The Prime Shopping Edition subscription is exclusive to Android users and will cost Rs 399/year. Among the benefits of this subscription include free shipping and one-day deliveries.
A user must note that Prime Music, Video, Gaming, Reading and more benefits will not be bundled with the plan. For context, the company offers two more annual subscriptions priced at Rs 1,499 (Amazon Prime) and Rs 999 (Amazon Prime Lite).
According to the report, this update comes a few days after Flipkart announced its VIP subscription model for Rs 499 with benefits comparable to Amazon Prime. According to the terms and conditions, the plan is only available on the Android app and mobile browsers on Android devices. The aim is to target over 85 per cent of the 650 million users who use an Android device in the smartphone world, according to the report.
