Google is expanding its AI offerings in India with the introduction of a new AI Plus subscription tier. It is no accident in terms of timing. India has become one of Google's fastest-adopting AI markets, driven by heavy usage of the Gemini app and the fast-growing influence of NotebookLM among students, creators, and professionals. The new pricing tier fills the clear gap between Google's free plan and high-end AI Pro model, creating a middle ground for users who want more power but without committing to the top-level price.

What Google AI Plus Offers

The AI Plus plan marks a notable bump up from the free tier because of access to Gemini 3 Pro. This is Google's most capable AI model, which was baked for creative workflows, long-form reasoning, and complex task automation. Google also bundles Nano Banana Pro, another model aimed at better image editing and creation for users who rely on visual tools.

You also get video generation through Veo 3.1 and creative filmmaking features through Flow with this subscription. These additions are likely to appeal to digital creators looking for a wider set of tools at a lower cost. Native Gemini integration inside Gmail and Google Docs makes this plan even more useful for everyday work, especially for users reliant on Google’s productivity suite.

Beyond the AI models themselves, the plan features 200 GB of cloud storage-a total of more than thirteen times the allowance of the free tier. Google is opening up deeper access to NotebookLM, enhancing long research sessions and allowing the user to build more advanced projects. Family sharing for up to five members gives this plan even more appeal to households looking for AI and storage benefits under a single subscription.

Where Does AI Plus Fit into Google's Lineup?

Now, Google has three clear subscription layers. The free tier includes 100 credits and basic AI tools suitable for light use. AI Plus doubles the monthly credits to bring significant upgrades through Gemini 3 Pro and 200 GB storage.

As before, the premium AI Pro tier is the most powerful, featuring 1,000 credits and 2 TB of cloud storage, though its price places it firmly in the professional segment. AI Plus arrives as a strategic midpoint for users who want meaningful AI power without stepping into the fully premium zone. With India's rapid adoption of AI workflows, Google seems to position this tier as the one most users will naturally upgrade to.
