Telegram Premium subscription price reduced in India: Here’s how much it costs now
Telegram launched its subscription-based service, Telegram Premium globally earlier this year. At the time, Telegram Premium was introduced at a monthly subscription price of Rs 469, which totaled to Rs 5,628 per year. Now, just three months later, the company has slashed the price of its Telegram Premium plan in India. The service now costs Rs 179 per month, which totals to Rs 2,148 a year.
The company is informing users about the updated prices via a message from the official Telegram handle within the app. ” Telegram Premium is now available in your country at a discount,” the message says. It is accompanied by a Learn More button. Tapping this button takes users to the Telegram Premium page, which informs users about the top benefits of using the service. The list includes features such as access to up to 1,000 channels, 20 folders, 10 pins, 20 public links, four accounts, animated emojis, up to 4GB upload size, faster download speed, ability to read the transcript of any incoming voice message, premium stickers, ad-free content, a profile badge and animated profile pictures among others. In addition to this, the Telegram Premium page informs users about the revised pricing of Telegram Premium in India, which now stands at Rs 179 per month.

It is second only to WhatsApp in India that has a little over half a billion monthly active users in the country. And so, it makes sense for the messaging app to make its premium features accessible to more users in the country.
