Nick Turley announced ChatGPT Go is rolling out in India via X account. He posted a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features with 10x higher message limits, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared to the free tier plan.

Further, he also mentioned, “We are rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries.”

What’s included in ChatGPT Go?

Along with all the benefits of the free tier, ChatGPT Go includes;

• Extended access to file uploads.
• Extended access to image generation.
• Extended access to GPT-5.
• Extended access to advanced data analysis.
• Longer memory for more personalized responses.
• Access to projects, tasks, and custom GPTs.

Another vital update is the introduction of Indian rupee (INR) pricing across all the subscription tiers. Users in India will now see plans directed in INR. Moreover, for the first time, OpenAI has also enabled payments via UPI, the country’s most widely used digital payment system. This change makes upgrading to a paid plan more convenient and seamless.

ChatGPT Pricing and Plans for Indian Users

ChatGPT now offers four plans for Indian users, each designed for a specific purpose. The free plan provides users access to GPT-5 but comes with restrictions such as slower image generation, limited file uploads, and reduced memory and research capabilities.

The newly launched ChatGPT Go plan, priced at just ₹399 ($4.6), offers enhanced flexibility with expanded messaging, faster image creation, extended memory, and access to projects and custom GPTs. It’s a cost-effective upgrade for students and professionals who need more than basic features at a minimal price.

Moving forward to the ChatGPT Plus plan at ₹1,999/month ($23) is designed for power users who need advanced reasoning capabilities, expanded deep research with agent mode, as well as access to premium features like Sora video generation and the Codex agent for coding tasks.

Finally, the ChatGPT Pro plan at ₹19,900/month ($228) delivers the most comprehensive package, including pro-level reasoning, unlimited usage, maximum memory, expanded research tools, and early access to new features, making it the best fit for enterprises, developers, and research-intensive users.
