Now, Anthropic has started rolling out an India-specific price for its AI chatbot. That means, if you are eager to try Claude AI’s paid subscription model, then you can simply pay in rupees now without worrying about international card payments or currency conversion charges.

Earlier, Indian users had to subscribe using US dollar pricing, which meant the final amount often varied because of exchange rates, taxes and international transaction charges. For those who need much higher usage limits, Anthropic has also introduced local pricing for Claude Max. The two available plans cost Rs 11,999 and Rs 23,999 per month.
If you are planning to get Claude’s paid subscription, then know Claude Pro is meant for those who spend more time with AI, whether it’s for writing, coding, research or everyday work. You will get higher usage limits than the free version along with access to Anthropic’s latest AI models. Other features include Projects, Memory, web search, voice conversations, file uploads and Claude Code for programming-related tasks. The company has kept the free version unchanged, so users who don’t want a subscription can continue using Claude with limited usage.
Anthropic hasn’t limited the update to individual users. The company has also introduced rupee pricing for its Team plans aimed at businesses. The standard Team subscription starts at Rs 2,399 per user per month on annual billing, while the Premium Team plan is priced at Rs 11,999 per user per month. These plans include collaboration tools, larger context windows, administrative controls and other workplace-focused features.
