Cursor Launches $7 India-Specific Subscription Plan as Country Becomes Third-Largest Market
Summary
Cursor launches a $7-per-month India-specific subscription plan, slashing its standard $20 Pro price as India emerges as its third-largest market with a user base that has tripled in just one year.
Key Points
- Cursor launches 'Cursor Start,' a ₹649-a-month ($7) India-specific subscription, significantly undercutting its standard $20 Pro plan, as India ranks as its third-largest market with its user base tripling over the past year.
- The new plan includes access to Cursor's Composer 2.5 and Grok 4.5 models with higher usage limits than the free tier, but excludes frontier AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic and advanced features like Bugbot and Auto Mode.
- Cursor is simultaneously expanding its physical presence in India through new sales and government affairs hires across Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, with its pending $60 billion acquisition by SpaceX potentially accelerating growth through Starlink's existing Indian infrastructure.
