On August 19, OpenAI officially announced the arrival of ChatGPT Go in India, which is a new, low-cost subscription plan that provides expanded access to ChatGPT’s advanced features as well as its latest model, GPT-5, which has been a hotbed for controversies.
We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features: 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared with our free tier. All for Rs. 399. 🇮🇳

One of the highlights of this launch is its pricing, which is only ₹399 per month. It’s worth a cup of coffee in the USA (roughly $4.08).
What is ChatGPT Go?
What Does Your $399 Get You?
If you are using the free version of ChatGPT till now, you can think of ChatGPT Go as an advanced version of the free experience. It is mainly developed for the user who has not graduated to professional-tier needs.
- Extended access to GPT-5 – Subscribers will be able to enjoy more access to OpenAI’s most advanced model, GPT-5. It means they will be able to take advantage of superior reasoning, writing, and coding capabilities.
- More Room to Breathe – The frustrating limits of the free plan are expanded into this latest announcement. In ChatGPT Go, users will get 10 times more messages, 10 times more image generations with DALL-E, and can upload 10 times more files for analysis. It is designed for those who use AI daily, not just occasionally.
- Longer memory for more personalized responses – The AI’s context window has been stretched in ChatGPT Go, meaning it can remember more of your conversation history. This will allow users to create more personalized, coherent, and context-based interactions. It makes the AI tool feel less like a tool; instead, it gives the vibe of a collaborative partner.
- Advanced data analysis – With ChatGPT Go, users will be able to use the advanced Data Analysis tool, which was formerly known as Code Interpreter. By using this, users can run Python code to sift through data, solve complex problems, and create charts. Additionally, they will also get the ability to create and use Custom GPTs for specialized tasks and organize their work into Projects.
- AI in Your Pocket – Full integration with the ChatGPT experience on WhatsApp makes it incredibly convenient for users who primarily operate on their smartphones.
Note that ChatGPT Go does not include access to legacy models like GPT-4o, which some users still prefer for certain tasks. This same move has attracted backlash for ChatGPT-5. Also, it does not include some advanced features reserved only for top-tier subscribers.
