New Delhi: Google has rolled out a new plan called Google AI Plus for Indian users. The offering brings in advanced tools from its AI lineup and bundles them under one monthly subscription. The goal seems to be bringing powerful AI features to more people at a manageable rate.
For many users, who once used free AI tools for simple tasks, will now get access to image editing, video creation, and deeper research tools under the same plan. The shift feels like Google is trying to make premium AI tools feel more within reach.
What Google AI Plus brings to users
Google says that under Google AI Plus, subscribers will get these key benefits
- Full access to Gemini 3 Pro, the latest AI model, via the Gemini app
- Access to image generation and editing with Nano Banana Pro
- Video generation tools and creative features like Flow inside the Gemini app
- Integration of Gemini into daily apps such as Gmail and Docs
- Expanded access to NotebookLM for serious research and analysis
- 200 GB storage shared among Photos, Drive and Gmail
- Ability to share all benefits with up to five family members
Google notes that these offerings aim to help users handle more tasks: from creative work to research and everyday productivity, with AI tools that were earlier limited or premium only. The company said “We are thrilled to see how users in India are using our AI tools in diverse ways, from the Gemini app to NotebookLM.”
Gemini AI Plus: Price and availability
Google AI Plus becomes available in India from today at a price of ₹399 per month. For new subscribers, the plan will cost ₹199 per month during the first six months. That discounted rate may lower the barrier for first-time users who are curious to try premium AI features.
An added detail: Users on Jio, can access Gemini AI Pro plan free for a year, which might give early exposure to the premium features before paying.
What it means for Indian users
For many people in India who often use apps like Gmail, Docs or Google Photos, this package brings multiple handy tools under one roof. Someone writing a research article or a long-form story may use NotebookLM for quick research notes. A college student could try the image or video generators for creative projects. A small business owner might use Gemini inside Gmail or Docs to draft emails, proposals or marketing copy.
For enthusiasts and developers, this move could push more people toward AI-powered workflows. If many users start with AI Plus features, demand for AI tools may rise quickly.
What remains to be seen
Whether monthly cost remains affordable for many users will matter. For freelance writers, students or small teams, ₹399 may still feel like a recurring expense. Also how well these tools work in real life, speed, quality of output, and privacy, will influence long-term adoption.
