Bharti Airtel has partnered with YouTube to offer YouTube Premium benefits to its prepaid customers in India. The offer is available through Airtel’s ₹200 OTT top-up, which includes 30GB of additional mobile data and entertainment benefits for 28 days.
The Airtel YouTube Premium offer gives eligible subscribers access to ad-free video streaming, background playback, offline downloads and YouTube Music Premium. The addition expands Airtel’s entertainment portfolio, which already includes several popular streaming services.
What does Airtel’s ₹200 pack offer?
The ₹200 OTT top-up combines additional mobile data with access to digital entertainment services. Customers must have an active Airtel prepaid plan to use the add-on.
The main benefits include:
- YouTube Premium: Watch regular YouTube videos and Shorts without platform-served advertisements.
- Background playback: Continue playing supported videos while using other apps or with the phone screen switched off.
- Offline downloads: Download eligible videos to watch without an internet connection.
- YouTube Music Premium: Listen to music with Premium benefits.
- Additional data: Get 30GB of mobile data.
- 28-day validity: The pack’s entertainment benefits remain available during its validity period.
The bundle also includes access to other entertainment services available through Airtel’s offering, such as Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5 Premium and SonyLIV, subject to the applicable subscription terms.
Customers should check the benefits displayed in the Airtel app before recharging, as availability and subscription terms may vary.
How to claim YouTube Premium with Airtel
Eligible Airtel prepaid customers can activate the benefit through the Airtel app after purchasing the ₹200 OTT top-up.
Follow these steps:
- Purchase the ₹200 OTT top-up while your Airtel prepaid connection has an active base recharge.
- Open the Airtel app on your smartphone.
- Navigate to the Rewards & OTTs section.
- Find the YouTube Premium benefit.
- Select the offer and follow the on-screen instructions to activate it.
Once activated, customers can use the included YouTube Premium benefits for the duration of the top-up’s validity.
How long does the Airtel YouTube Premium offer last?
The YouTube Premium benefit is linked to the ₹200 top-up’s 28-day validity. It expires when the validity period ends.
Customers who want to continue using the bundled benefits must purchase the eligible top-up again and reclaim the offer through the Airtel app, subject to the applicable terms.
The ₹200 pack is an add-on rather than a replacement for a regular prepaid recharge. Customers should therefore maintain an active base plan and confirm the pack’s current conditions before purchasing it.
How Airtel is expanding its entertainment offerings
The partnership reflects the growing importance of video streaming, creator content and music consumption in mobile usage.
By adding YouTube Premium to its existing entertainment bundle, Airtel is extending its offering beyond traditional films and television streaming. The move also gives prepaid subscribers another way to access YouTube’s premium features alongside mobile data and other entertainment services.
For customers who regularly watch YouTube, download videos or stream music on their smartphones, the bundle could be worth considering. However, its value depends on whether they will use the included entertainment benefits and additional data.
Customers should compare the offer with their existing subscriptions and check the current terms before recharging.
