OpenAI has made its ChatGPT Go plan free in India, its second-largest market. Starting November 4th, users will be able to use it for free for one year.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Go plan is free in India from today. The company has stated that all users who sign up during the limited-time promotional period will receive the plan for one year free. The subscription fee for this plan is ₹399 per month, but the company has made it free starting November 4th. This plan offers users a higher message limit, image generation, and file uploading capabilities. Let's learn how to take advantage of this.

How to activate the free plan?

First, open the ChatGPT app or website on your phone. Sign in. Then, go to the profile icon and select Upgrade Your Plan or Settings and tap Subscriptions. Then, select ChatGPT Go and follow the on-screen instructions. Within a few steps, the new plan will be activated and added to your account. Under this promotional offer, users will receive one year of free access to all the advanced features of the GPT-5 model. Additionally, users who have already subscribed to this plan by paying a fee will also receive one year of free access.

Why is this plan free?

India is OpenAI's second-largest market. The company recently announced that the number of paid subscribers doubled within a month of launching the affordable ChatGPT Go plan in August. Today, the company is hosting its first OpenAI DevDay Exchange event in India. To celebrate this, it has made ChatGPT Go free. Furthermore, the company is facing tough competition from its competitors. Companies like Perplexity and Google are also offering their AI chatbots and tools for free. Consequently, OpenAI has been forced to enter this race.
