OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPT Go, a new subscription plan designed specifically for India. Priced at just Rs. 399 per month, this tier provides advanced AI tools, including GPT-5 access, at an affordable rate.
“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,”
- Nick Turley, VP at OpenAI and head of ChatGPT.
What Is ChatGPT Go?
ChatGPT Go is OpenAI’s budget-friendly plan introduced exclusively for Indian users. It bridges the gap between the Free plan and the more premium ChatGPT Plus plan (which costs $20 or Rs. 1,650 per month).
For a fraction of the price, subscribers can unlock powerful features previously restricted to higher-paying users.
