Anthropic Starts India Pricing For Claude AI, Pro Plan At Rs 2,000

Anthropic has started introducing India-specific pricing for its Claude AI assistant, allowing users to pay for subscriptions in rupees instead of US dollars. The move is expected to make the chatbot more accessible to Indian users and marks another step in the company's growing focus on what it now describes as its second-largest market after the United States.Indian users are beginning to see local pricing across Claude's paid plans on the web and mobile apps, eliminating the need for dollar-denominated payments and reducing the friction associated with international transactions. The localisation comes as global AI companies race to expand in India, one of the world's fastest-growing markets for generative AI.Under the new pricing, Claude Pro will cost Rs 2,000 per month with annual billing, or Rs 2,399 per month if billed monthly.
