OpenAI has debuted its cheapest subscription yet for India only, product head
Nick Turley announced on X. Called ChatGPT Go, the 390 rupee ($4.60) GPT-5
plan will offers users 10 times more message limits, image generation and
file uploads than the free offering. "Making ChatGPT more affordable has been
a key ask from users," Turley wrote. "We're rolling out Go in India first and
will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries."

The new plan was leaked earlier and OpenAI recently introduced local currency
pricing in India via India's payment framework. With that, ChatGPT Plus and
ChatGPT Pro are now offered for 1,999 rupees ($22.95) and 19,990 rupees
($229.50) ΓÇö more expensive than the $20 and $200 users paid prior to the
local currency rollout.

ChatGPT Go now gives local users a more budget-oriented option. However, it
doesn't offer access to GPT-5's advanced reasoning, has "limited deep
research," no custom GPTs and lower message, image and file upload limits
compared to the higher-end subscriptions, according to OpenAI's plan page in
India.

India is a key market for OpenAI, being second only to the US by user base.
CEO Sam Altman recently met with India's IT minister about a plan to
introduce lower-cost AI plans. According to Turley's X post, it looks like
ChatGPT Go will come to other countries soon, though the company has yet to
say which ones. Turley recently said that ChatGPT now has 700 million weekly
users globally, up from 500 million in March.
