The new plan adds to the existing top-tier version, ChatGPT Pro, priced at 19,900 per month and ChatGPT Plus at 1,999 per month, which offer priority access, faster performance, and higher usage limits for heavy users, read a report by PTI.

ChatGPT's vice president Nick Turley also announced that all subscriptions to the platform can now be paid via UPI and in Indian rupee.

What are the features of the new ChatGPT Go?

“We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features,” Nick Turley wrote on his official X handle.

ChatGPT's Indian market

India is OpenAI’s second-largest market by user base after the United States and may soon become the biggest, a Reuters report dated February, quoted OpenAI CEO Altman as saying.

Earlier this year, CEO Sam Altman met with India's IT minister and discussed a plan to create a low-cost AI ecosystem.

“India will build great models,” Altman earlier said in the interview with HT in February 2025, adding that while the company did not have anything to announce about an India-specific investment, he hoped to have something “exciting to share soon”.
