OpenAI has officially made its ChatGPT Go plan free for all Indian users for one year, beginning November 4. The offer is now live, allowing users across the country to access advanced AI features without paying the usual subscription fee. The move reflects OpenAI’s growing focus on India as one of its largest and fastest-growing markets.
About ChatGPT Go
ChatGPT Go, which would usually cost USD 5 (roughly Rs 400 in India) per month, sits between the free and pro versions of ChatGPT. It delivers faster and more capable AI responses, along with extended AI usage limits that are ten times higher than the basic version. Subscribers can create images, upload files, generate longer conversations, and ask ChatGPT to summarize or analyze documents. The plan also includes memory capabilities, allowing the chat bot to recall previous interactions and offer more personalized answers over time.
India at the Centre of OpenAI Strategy
The free subscription initiative for Indian users reflects OpenAI’s emphasis on expanding access in a market that has rapidly embraced AI tools.
India is now OpenAI’s second-largest user base after the United States, with millions relying on ChatGPT for education, business, coding, and creative projects. According to OpenAI, the goal is to familiarize more users with AI tools. This also complements India’s AI mission, which focuses on building AI literacy and supporting innovation across industries. OpenAI has stated that it is working with educational and civic organizations in India to ensure AI access spreads beyond metro cities and reaches the broader digital ecosystem.
Existing Subscribers Automatically Upgraded
OpenAI confirmed that current ChatGPT Go users in India will be automatically upgraded to the 12-month free plan. Existing subscribers do not need to cancel or reapply; the free access will be activated for them as part of the new rollout. Once the one-year period ends, regular pricing will resume unless the plan is canceled.
How to Access ChatGPT Go for Free
To claim the offer, Indian users simply need to log in to the ChatGPT website or mobile app. Once logged in, eligible users can enable ChatGPT Go at no cost after initiating an auto pay renewal. The ChatGPT Go plan, powered by the latest GPT-5 model, offers smoother responses, faster processing, longer chats, and more accurate results than the basic version. Additionally, it supports image creation, file uploads, and content generation for work, study, and personal use.
