OpenAI has introduced a new subscription plan in India called ChatGPT Go. It is priced at Rs 399 per month. The plan is being rolled out as an India-only option and can also be purchased through UPI, making it more convenient for millions of users who rely on the digital payment system for everyday transactions.
This is the first time OpenAI has created a country-specific subscription plan. While Indian users have had access to the free version of ChatGPT as well as the Plus and Pro plans, the new Go tier is designed to give more people access to advanced tools at a lower monthly cost. The company says the plan has been built keeping in mind the scale of usage in India, which has now become its second-largest market for ChatGPT.
With higher limits on some of the most popular features, ChatGPT Go is priced far lower than the Plus membership, which costs Rs 1,999 per month. Users receive twice the memory length for customized responses, ten times the message capacity, and daily picture production and file uploads. The company’s most recent model, GPT-5, which offers improved support for Indic languages, powers the plan.
The ability to pay via UPI is one of the Go plan’s greatest additions. Many potential clients were excluded since, up until recently, Indian users could only sign up using debit or credit cards. OpenAI hopes to make the subscription process as easy as possible for users nationwide by implementing UPI support.
Additionally, UPI has never before been made available for any ChatGPT subscription package worldwide. Other widely used Indian payment options will be accepted in addition to UPI.
OpenAI claims that the Go plan was designed for regular users who don’t require the sophisticated functionality of Plus or Pro but still want more than what the free version provides. According to the firm, it is a tier for professionals, students, and creators who frequently utilize AI for jobs like creating images, solving problems, or producing material but are looking for an economical subscription.
Access to picture creation, longer file uploads, sophisticated data analysis tools like Python, and a larger memory window are among the higher usage restrictions. It is anticipated that these enhancements will make ChatGPT more useful for users who wish to manage more complicated inquiries or for projects that need continuity.
Starting today, the ChatGPT Go plan is accessible via the ChatGPT mobile app and website. Users who are interested can pay using UPI or other accepted means, select the Go plan, and upgrade. Go, Plus, and Pro do not yet have an annual payment option; instead, users must renew monthly.
For the time being, OpenAI is progressively making the new plan available. As the rollout grows, those who don’t see the Go plan right away are encouraged to check back later.
