OpenAI Launches 'ChatGPT Go' in India at ₹399/Month with UPI Support

OpenAI has officially launched a new affordable subscription plan, ChatGPT Go, exclusively in India, priced at just ₹399 per month. This move marks a significant step toward making advanced AI tools more accessible to a broader audience in one of its fastest-growing markets. With this new tier, OpenAI aims to attract students, professionals, creators, and everyday users who require enhanced AI capabilities without committing to the higher-priced ChatGPT Plus or Pro plans.

ChatGPT Go offers several upgraded features over the free version. Subscribers will get access to GPT‑5, the most advanced model currently available, along with improved support for Indic languages. The plan includes 10 times more messages, image generations, and file uploads compared to the free plan. Users will also benefit from double the memory, allowing for more personalized and contextual interactions with the chatbot.

One of the most notable aspects of the ChatGPT Go launch is the introduction of local currency pricing and UPI payment support. For the first time, users in India can subscribe to a ChatGPT plan using popular platforms like PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm, without needing international cards. This move eliminates currency conversion hassles and makes the subscription process seamless for Indian users.

The Go plan sits between the free tier and the ₹1,999/month Plus plan, offering a middle-ground solution for users who need more features without the premium cost. OpenAI has also made it clear that this plan is tailored specifically for the Indian market, where there is high demand for affordable digital tools. India is currently OpenAI’s second-largest user base for ChatGPT, and this launch is expected to further accelerate adoption across the country.

With ChatGPT Go, OpenAI is not only expanding its user base but also reinforcing its commitment to making cutting-edge AI accessible and localized for Indian users. The plan is now available through the ChatGPT web portal and mobile apps, where users can subscribe directly in INR and enjoy advanced AI features at a fraction of the global price.
