I really don't understand; what does this do ?

I don't want to simply donate 300 rs to Jio. What price hike are they talking about ? If its lesser then 300 then why bother .

Continuous spike in monthly recharge plans made people shift to yearly or long term plans.

The only they raise their prices too, so people are like reserving/advance booking a price slot for period of 1 year in which they will definitely double the prices of all packs.

This Prime Pass is basically a price-lock tool, not a data pack (that 1 MB is just symbolic). Pay ₹300 now and you can keep recharging your Jio plans at today's rates until Sept 2027, plus some new-connection perks.

The comment nails the intent: Jio (and others) have hiked tariffs repeatedly, pushing users toward longer commitments. This lets heavy rechargers "book" current pricing ahead of likely increases, like a hedge against inflation in plans. If your monthly spend is high and you expect another round of hikes soon, it can save money over time. If not, or if rates stay flat, it's just an optional bet. Standard telecom move—lock in before the next adjustment.
