ChatGPT Go Free in India: OpenAI Announces One-Year Complimentary Access for All Users

On 28 October, OpenAI declared that starting on November 4, ChatGPT Go will be free for a year for all Indian users. The package, which now costs INR 399 a month, will be made available as part of a temporary promotion that takes place in conjunction with the company's first DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru.

Since ChatGPT Go was first introduced in India a few months ago, the firm has been inspired by the ingenuity and uptake of its users, said Nick Turley, Vice-President and Head of ChatGPT. To assist more people access and benefit from cutting-edge AI, the company is making ChatGPT Go freely available for a year ahead of its first DevDay Exchange event in India. "We’re excited to see the amazing things our users will build, learn, and achieve with these tools," Turley stated.

Free Subscription also Available for Existing ChatGPT Go Subscribers

According to OpenAI, the free-access offer's sign-up period will begin on November 4. The 12-month promotion will also apply to current ChatGPT Go members in India; further information will be available soon. Powered by OpenAI's GPT-5 model, ChatGPT Go is the company's newly released subscription tier that gives customers more access to premium services like longer memory, more picture generation, higher message limits, and expanded file and image uploads.

ChatGPT Go was released in August 2025 in response to Indian users' desire for more reasonably priced access to cutting-edge features. India's paid ChatGPT user base more than doubled in the first month after its debut. Since then, the service has grown to almost 90 markets worldwide.

India a Massive Market for ChatGPT

India is one of ChatGPT's fastest-growing and second-largest markets. Today, millions of individuals utilise ChatGPT every day for learning, productivity, and creativity. These users include professionals, students, and developers.

According to OpenAI, the free-access campaign demonstrates its "India-first" stance and advances the IndiaAI Mission, which aims to increase indigenous innovation capability, promote digital inclusiveness, and increase access to artificial intelligence tools. In order to encourage responsible AI use and skill development across the country, the company is also collaborating with government programmes, educational institutions, and civil society groups under the IndiaAI Mission.
