HBO content removed from Disney+ Hotstar in India

So you mean WBD ahead of Discovery + Revamp or stand alone HBO OTT launch in India ?
I don't think they'll launch a standalone app in India.

In January 2023, OCS/Orange lost the HBO library in France. Canal+, a rival pay-tv giant signed an MoU to acquire OCS/Orange. Since then they've stopped carring any Warner Bros Discovery related channels or license content from the studio.

Last week, WBD launched Pass Warner, a Prime Video Channel containing HBO, Warner TV, Cartoon Network, Discovery.

So we can expect a similar thing to happen here.
 
Absolutely correct, let's see how it shapes up - as Disney+ sans Hotstar with combined properties of FOX, FXX, abc, Hulu, ESPN etc. is huge where it can justify the yearly subscription of Rs. 1499. For HBO, they have an option of going solo with WBD integrated, and launch channels with Hanna Barbara and other vintage and new stuff getting combined on the platform with strong support of Discovery, Animal Planet, TLC etc. or become a Prime Channel on APV. Both having it's merits or cons, which time only would tell. So let's see how things shape up as India is witnessing a lot of changes in this space. Be it Disney, APV, Jio-Voot, Zee-Sony, HBO-Discovery.

It absolutely doesn't justify at Rs. 1499.
FX, Hulu content is not that popular in India. ABC and Fox are just not premium enough to attract subs. ESPN has no sports rights in India. So Hotstar would've to reduce the price or else they won't even retain existing subs.

Well this is the strategy to move away from low ARPU customers to niche and in house content for Disney+. And regional footprint of Star may be they have hit the nail. But it's too early to comment at this point. We have to see how are they planning to turn it around.

Jio cinema is getting some content from wbd but sure if it's wb content or HBO content.

Most likely some odd CW shows. Even on TV they have stopped renewing almost every other Warner Bros. shows.
