OpenAI has launched its cheapest plan, ChatGPT Go in India at ₹399 per month, offering faster responses, expanded features, and UPI payments as the company aims to capture more users in its second-largest market.
OpenAI introduced “ChatGPT Go,” its most affordable subscription tier yet, exclusively for Indian users. Priced at ₹399 per month (approximately USD 4.57), this entry-level plan is tailored to India’s price-sensitive market and marks a strategic push into the company’s second-largest user base.
ChatGPT Go offers significant upgrades over the free tier. Subscribers gain access to tenfold more messages, images, and file uploads, as well as faster response times.
It provides access to the powerful GPT-5 model with longer memory and multimodal capabilities, striking a balance between affordability and functionality.
OpenAI is clearly targeting India’s nearly billion-strong internet population, offering pricing in rupees and seamless UPI payments (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm), which had previously been barriers for many users.
According to Nick Turley, OpenAI Vice President and head of ChatGPT, launching ChatGPT Go in India is a deliberate pilot—“we'll learn from feedback before expanding to other countries.”
CEO Sam Altman has highlighted India’s growing strategic importance, recently calling it OpenAI’s second-largest and potentially soon the largest—user market.
The move comes amid intensifying global competition in AI. Competitors like Amazon and local firms have already launched generative AI tools and partnerships in India. OpenAI hopes that a budget-friendly plan will help convert more users into paying subscribers.
