OpenAI brought its GPT-6 models to ChatGPT in early October. Unlike some past launches, free users weren't left out — but they don't get the same model as paying users. Here's the breakdown for India.
Two GPT-6 models, split by plan
- GPT-6 Sol — rolled out from 7 October to Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise subscribers.
- GPT-6 Luna — rolled out from the following day to Free and Go users.
OpenAI positions Sol as the more capable model. Luna is the version most Indian users will meet, since the majority use the free plan.
What's "Intelligent UI"?
Alongside GPT-6, ChatGPT now mixes text with visuals and interactive elements depending on your question. Answers can include graphics, tappable buttons, forms and charts. Ask it to split a restaurant bill or compare EMI options, and it can build a small working calculator inside the chat. GPT-6 can also start answering while it's still reasoning, so long answers appear faster.
ChatGPT prices in India
As of late September 2026, ChatGPT plans in India were listed at:
- Free — ₹0
- Go — ₹399/month
- Plus — ₹1,999/month
- Pro — from ₹10,699/month
The 12-month free ChatGPT Go offer for India has ended, so be wary of websites or Telegram channels still promising "free Go" — some are phishing for your login.
Should you upgrade?
- Students and casual users: start with Free (Luna). Upgrade only if you keep hitting limits.
- Daily heavy users: Go at ₹399 gives higher limits at a price that suits India.
- Professionals using it for work: Plus gets you GPT-6 Sol, the stronger model.
Whatever your plan, double-check facts, numbers and anything medical or legal — newer models are better, not infallible. And never paste OTPs, Aadhaar or bank details into any chatbot.
