OpenAI has launched a new subscription tier in India called ChatGPT Go, priced at Rs 399 per month. This India-exclusive plan can be purchased using UPI, making it easier for millions of users who depend on the digital payment method for daily transactions.
This marks the first time OpenAI has introduced a country-specific subscription plan. Until now, Indian users could only access the free version, Plus, or Pro tiers. The new Go plan is designed to make advanced AI tools more accessible at a lower cost, keeping in mind India’s growing scale of usage.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go – Benefits
At just Rs 399 per month, ChatGPT Go is significantly cheaper than the Plus plan, which costs Rs 1,999. It offers higher limits on popular features including 10x more message capacity, daily image generations, and file uploads, along with double the memory length for personalised interactions.
The plan runs on GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest model with improved support for Indic languages.
A key highlight of this plan is UPI support. Until now, subscriptions could only be purchased using debit or credit cards, which excluded a large section of users. With UPI enabled for the first time across any ChatGPT subscription globally, OpenAI aims to simplify the process for Indian users.
Meanwhile, other popular Indian payment methods will also be accepted.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go – Availability
The ChatGPT Go plan is available starting today via the ChatGPT website and mobile app. Users can upgrade, choose Go and pay through UPI or other supported methods.
Currently, all ChatGPT subscriptions including Go, are limited to monthly billing with no annual option. Rollout is happening in phases, so users who don’t see the Go plan yet are advised to check back later.
Who Should Choose ChatGPT Go?
OpenAI says the Go plan is ideal for students, creators, and professionals who need more than the free version but don’t require the advanced capacity of Plus or Pro.
It’s aimed at users who draft content, solve problems, or create visuals regularly and want affordability with higher usage limits. These include image generation, extended file uploads, advanced data analysis tools like Python, and longer memory windows for better continuity.
All ChatGPT Plans Currently Available in India
India is now OpenAI’s second-largest market for ChatGPT. With this launch, Indian users now have three subscription options –
- ChatGPT Go (Rs 399/month) – For regular users who want enhanced access at a budget price.
- ChatGPT Plus (Rs 1,999/month) – For heavy users who need faster responses, priority access, and higher limits.
- ChatGPT Pro (Rs 19,900/month) – For enterprises and professionals requiring advanced models, scale, and customisation.
