The plan includes access to Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5 but excludes frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic and advanced features like Bugbot and Auto Mode. The move follows India becoming Cursor's third-largest market globally, with its user base tripling over the past year and Indian users generating more agent requests per user than any other country. Cursor is also expanding its local presence with hiring across major Indian cities and setting up a government affairs office. The localized pricing model may be extended to other markets if successful. ## Content Cursor has launched a new subscription tier called Cursor Start, priced at ₹649/month (roughly $7) and available only in India. That's well below the standard $20/month Pro plan. The plan includes access to Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5, which Cursor describes as capable models that are also token-efficient. What it doesn't include: frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, or advanced features like Bugbot and Auto Mode. The timing makes sense. India is now Cursor's third-largest market globally, with its user base tripling over the past year. According to Cursor's Aman Sanger, Indian users also generate more agent requests per user than any other country - which suggests the demand is real, not just casual signups. Beyond pricing, Cursor is expanding its local presence with hiring across Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, and is setting up a government affairs office in the country. The launch comes a few weeks before Cursor's expected $60 billion acquisition by SpaceX closes, though the India expansion was reportedly already in motion before that deal. If the localized pricing model works here, Cursor may roll it out to other markets. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Cursor's $7 India plan runs on its own AI models](https://daily.dev/posts/cursor-s-7-india-plan-runs-on-its-own-ai-models-e0luupvs1) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-assisted-development](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-assisted-development), [#grok](https://daily.dev/tags/grok) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/cursor-launches-649-month-plan-for-indian-developers-as-india-becomes-its-third-largest-market-yjdeajcig) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Cursor launches ₹649/month plan for Indian developers as India becomes its third-largest market","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/cursor-launches-649-month-plan-for-indian-developers-as-india-becomes-its-third-largest-market-yjdeajcig","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/cursor-launches-649-month-plan-for-indian-developers-as-india-becomes-its-third-largest-market-yjdeajcig"},"datePublished":"2026-07-28T06:04:25.417Z","dateModified":"2026-07-28T17:19:23.954Z","description":"Cursor has launched a new India-exclusive subscription tier called Cursor Start at ₹649/month (~$7), significantly below its standard $20/month Pro plan.
