Despite the new prices, Amazon will continue to include the Prime service (delivery and sale access), Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Reading, and Prime Gaming as part of the Prime membership benefits.
When asked about the reason behind this price hike Amazon said, "Since the launch 5 years ago in India, Prime has continued to increase the value it offers members. Prime provides an unparalleled combination of shopping, savings and entertainment benefits to make life more convenient and entertaining every single day, and we continue to invest in making Prime even more valuable for customers."
