Baseline
Dollar pricing for users in India, as the same report describes it. LimitSheet never converts US dollars to rupees. The date is the report date, not a confirmed rollout date.
A change can be a cut against one level and a rise against another, so every entry names the baseline it compares with.

- TechCrunch (Jagmeet Singh), Anthropic starts localizing Claude pricing for India, its biggest market after the US
Local pricing has begun to appear for some users in India on Claude’s website and mobile apps. However, Anthropic has yet to enable payments via the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), India’s widely used instant payments network. Users still need to pay by card or through Apple’s and Google’s app store billing systems.
Claude users in India have long sought rupee-denominated subscriptions, with dollar pricing and currency conversion adding friction to accessing the service.
The India prices include local taxes.
