E-commerce giant Amazon launched the Amazon Prime Lite membership plan for Indian users at Rs 999 for a year. This lite version is a cheaper version of Amazon Prime membership. The new membership plan costing Rs 1499 a year has reduced its original benefits while it is still providing free deliveries to subscribers.
The only unsatisfactory thing about Amazon Prime Light membership is that it is not available with monthly or quarterly plan options at present.
