Cursor makes its biggest India push yet ahead of SpaceX acquisition with localized pricing
Cursor, an AI coding startup, is launching a ₹649-a-month subscription in India to provide AI-assisted coding services, targeting developers who want to bypass the full Pro subscription. The plan includes access to Cursor’s Composer 2.5 and Grok 4.5 models, with features like higher usage limits and cloud agents, and is designed to be commercially sustainable. The company is expanding its presence in India through hiring a salesperson and establishing government affairs and technical support roles, while leveraging its own AI models to lower costs. The India-specific pricing model aims to broaden access rather than replace its flagship offering, supported by UPI and credit/debit cards.
