In a major announcement, OpenAI has made its ChatGPT Go subscription free for all users in India for one year.
The plan, which usually costs Rs 399 per month (Rs 4,788 a year), can now be activated for free starting November 4.
This move highlights India as a key market for OpenAI, aiming to make advanced AI tools more accessible to a wider audience.
What Is ChatGPT Go?
ChatGPT Go is OpenAI’s budget-friendly subscription plan that offers expanded access to GPT-5, the company’s latest and most advanced AI model.
It’s designed for everyday users as well as professionals who need powerful features at a lower cost.
Subscribers get access to:
Extended GPT-5 usage for longer, smarter conversations.
Creative tools like image generation and file analysis.
Advanced data analysis using Python-powered visualization tools.
Personalized memory for context-aware and adaptive chats.
Now, all these premium features are available free of charge for one year in India.
How to Activate ChatGPT Go for Free
Activating the free ChatGPT Go plan is quick and simple. Here’s how you can do it:
Log in to your ChatGPT account on the website or mobile app.
Tap your profile icon and select “Upgrade your plan.”
Choose ChatGPT Go and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once confirmed, the plan is instantly activated—no payment needed.
That’s it — you can start using ChatGPT Go’s premium tools right away.
What Are the Limitations?
While ChatGPT Go offers plenty of advanced features, it has a few limitations compared to the Plus or Pro plans.
It does not include API access, which remains a separate paid service.
Users cannot access older models like GPT-4o or GPT-4 Turbo.
Third-party connectors and Sora, OpenAI’s video-generation tool, are not included.
The GPT-5 Thinking Mode is automatic and cannot be manually adjusted.
Even with these restrictions, ChatGPT Go still provides impressive value—especially since it’s free for the first year.
Why This Matters
By offering ChatGPT Go at no cost, OpenAI is expanding AI accessibility in India and encouraging more users to explore its advanced tools.
From students and professionals to creators and analysts, this offer opens the door for millions to experience next-gen AI capabilities without spending a rupee.
