OpenAI has announced that it will make its ChatGPT Go plan completely free for Indian users for one year, beginning November 4, 2025. The offer applies to both new users and existing subscribers, as part of the company’s growing commitment to expanding AI access in India.
Normally priced at ₹399 per month, ChatGPT Go provides users with enhanced features compared to the free tier, including higher messaging limits and access to GPT-5. However, it does not include the full suite of research tools available in the higher-tier ChatGPT Plus (₹1,999/month) or Pro (₹19,990/month) plans.
