OpenAI on Tuesday introduced its most affordable subscription in India, priced at 399 rupees ($4.57) per month, aiming to expand in its second-largest user market.
The new plan, named ChatGPT Go, offers broader access to the latest GPT‑5 model and additional features at a lower cost, the Microsoft-backed company said in a website statement.
Nick Turley, head of ChatGPT, noted on social media that the plan gives users 10 times more message limits, image generations, and file uploads, along with double the memory compared to the free tier.
“Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We’re rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries,” Turley added.
OpenAI also offers two other paid plans: ChatGPT Plus, priced at 1,999 rupees per month in India ($20 internationally), and the premium ChatGPT Pro, which costs 19,900 rupees per month in India ($200 internationally).
In February, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with Indian IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to discuss the country’s push for a low-cost AI ecosystem. Altman praised India’s fast AI adoption, calling it a key market for the company.
Earlier this month, OpenAI released its latest AI model, GPT-5, which received mixed reviews. Following some negative feedback, the company restored access to the older GPT-4 models for paying customers.
