August 19, 2025 — OpenAI has unveiled “ChatGPT Go,” a low-cost subscription plan targeted at Indian users, accelerating the country’s adoption of artificial intelligence tools. Priced at just ₹399 per month, this new offering significantly undercuts international rates and is designed to make advanced AI features accessible to a much wider audience, including students, creators, and professionals.
What’s New With ChatGPT Go?
Unlike the free version, ChatGPT Go delivers:
- 10x higher messaging limits
- 10x more image generations
- 10x more file uploads
- Double the memory for context in chats
- Full access to OpenAI’s latest and most powerful GPT-5 model
- Enhanced document and data analysis tools
- Support for Indian user needs, such as UPI payments and INR billing
This tier is positioned below the “ChatGPT Plus” (₹1,999/month) and “Pro” plans (₹19,900/month), yet offers substantial benefits for daily power users.
Jio Partnership Talks
Recent reports indicated that OpenAI has held discussions with Reliance Jio about integrating ChatGPT and other AI tools into Jio’s vast ecosystem. This partnership may see Jio bundle ChatGPT Go subscriptions with its mobile and broadband services, much as it previously disrupted India’s mobile internet landscape. Although a formal deal has yet to be announced, such a collaboration could mean:
- Deep discounts, or even free access to ChatGPT Go for Jio subscribers
- Integration with Jio platforms and apps, bringing AI tools to millions across urban and rural India
- Cutting-edge AI deployed at scale, similar to Jio’s transformation of mobile data access
Localized Features for Indian Users
To further enhance affordability and convenience, ChatGPT Go supports direct payment in Indian rupees and integration with Unified Payments Interface (UPI), removing barriers such as currency conversion and international card requirements.
Why This Matters
India is OpenAI’s second-largest market by user numbers, but premium pricing has been a hurdle for mass adoption. By working with Jio and introducing budget-friendly, mobile-first plans, OpenAI aims to democratize AI use across India’s massive digital population—potentially replicating Jio’s game-changing impact on the country’s mobile and internet scene.
How to Subscribe
Indian users can check eligibility via the ChatGPT web or mobile app under the account’s “Upgrade Plan” section and follow instructions to activate ChatGPT Go with their preferred payment option.
Summary:
ChatGPT Go, possibly in partnership with Jio, represents a major leap for affordable AI in India—putting advanced features at users’ fingertips for just ₹399/month, with local payment options and likely bundling with Jio’s telecom services for even broader reach. If successful, this move could make India a global AI adoption leader.
