Cursor launched a ₹649 India plan and said India is now its third-largest market.
Why it matters: The move shows how an AI coding tool is adapting pricing and payments for India, one of the world’s largest developer markets. It also points to Cursor’s growing commercial focus there, including enterprise sales and local hiring.
- Cursor launched Cursor Start in India on July 28, 2026, priced at ₹649 per month.
- The plan can be paid for with UPI or card.
- Cursor said its user base in India has tripled over the past year to more than 3 million developers, as it describes them.
- Cursor said India is now its third-largest market globally and has more power users than any other market.
Cursor is rolling out a localized India subscription as it deepens its push in the market. In a blog post, the company said Cursor Start is meant to reflect local pricing and payment preferences, including UPI support, after users in India asked for a plan tailored to the market.
The company said the plan launched on July 28, 2026 at ₹649 per month and includes access to Grok 4.5, Composer, more agent requests than the Free plan, cloud agents, iOS support, plugins, MCP servers, hooks and skills. Cursor also said its India user base has tripled in the past year to more than 3 million developers, and that India is now its third-largest market globally with more power users than any other market.
Cursor’s public-facing evidence for a broader India buildout extends beyond pricing. Its careers page currently lists roles including Enterprise Account Executive - India and Field Engineer - India. TechCrunch also reported the same day that Cursor is pursuing localized pricing, hiring and enterprise sales in India, adding outside confirmation of the company’s market push.
By the numbers
- ₹649 - monthly price for Cursor Start in India.
- More than 3 million - developers in India, according to Cursor.
- July 28, 2026 - launch date for the India plan.
Yes, but: Cursor’s hiring listings suggest a broader India strategy, but the company’s direct statement in the blog post is the clearest evidence for the localized plan itself.
