OpenAI Makes ChatGPT Go Free for One Year in India, Starting Today

The limited-time promotion coincides with Bengaluru’s DevDay Exchange to advance OpenAI’s India expansion strategy.

Overview

  • The offer is live from November 4 for users in India who activate the plan during the promotional window, with existing Go subscribers also eligible to claim a free year.
  • ChatGPT Go normally costs ₹399 per month, but the checkout screen displays ₹399/month crossed out with ₹0 for 12 months for eligible accounts.
  • Activation requires signing in on the web or app, choosing ChatGPT Go, verifying a mobile number via OTP, and entering card or UPI details with no charge during the free year.
  • The plan runs on GPT-5 with higher daily message limits, longer memory, faster responses, file and document analysis, and built‑in image generation compared with the free tier.
  • Exclusions apply as the Go plan does not include API access, Sora video generation, or certain Plus/Pro features such as legacy models like GPT‑4 Turbo.
