Short answer
On 23 Oct 2026, Airtel partnered with YouTube to offer YouTube Premium benefits to prepaid customers through a ₹200 OTT top-up, with 30GB of additional data, valid for 28 days. You claim it in the Airtel app under Rewards and OTTs, after an active recharge. That is a short, renewable bundle, not a 1-year subscription.
What the Airtel bundle includes
Ad-free YouTube viewing, background play, offline downloads, and YouTube Music Premium, subject to terms and conditions. The benefits end when the 28-day top-up ends, and you can repurchase to continue.
How a 1-year deal is different
A longer deal is about not renewing every 28 days. OTT Bazaar lists a YouTube Premium 1-year deal in its existing posts, and you should check its current price and activation method on the store before buying, because prices and promo terms change.
