Disney Plus is now live in India via the rebranded Disney Plus Hotstar app. The on-demand video streaming service in association with Hotstar was earlier set to launch on March 29, ahead of the Indian Premier League 2020.

Disney Plus Hostar in India locks horns with other key players in the segment such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video; however, it also needs to keep a close eye on local services such as ALTBalaji, Zee5, to name a few.

That's right, and if you're an existing Hotstar subscriber, you can access Disney Plus content without incurring any additional costs. However, as we reported earlier, the company could raise its subscription prices in lieu of the Disney syndication.

Disney Plus was announced in November 2019 and has since amassed more than 28 million subscribers and with more original series such as The Falcon and Winter Soldier set to debut later this year, the anticipation for the service to enter India has been at an all-time high.
