Overview

  • ChatGPT Go is priced at 399 rupees per month (about $4.60) and includes GPT-5 plus 10x more messages, image generation, file uploads and double memory versus the free tier.
  • In India, Go joins a three-tier lineup alongside ChatGPT Plus at ₹1,999 and Pro at ₹19,900, with global prices for Plus at $20 per month and Pro at $200.
  • OpenAI is targeting India for its more than 800 million internet users and strong price sensitivity, following Sam Altman’s outreach to government officials on affordable AI.
  • Following early complaints about GPT-5, OpenAI restored GPT-4 access for paying customers as it tries to balance rapid upgrades with reliability.
  • OpenAI says it is working to expand Go to additional regions, while competitors court Indian users through localized offers such as Google’s free AI Pro for students and Perplexity’s Airtel partnership.
