To support video creators, Google increased the subscription prices for YouTube Premium in India, affecting various plans.
As YouTube continues to invest in original content, licensing agreements, and exclusive shows, the costs associated with providing premium features (such as ad-free streaming and offline downloads) may have risen. Increasing subscription prices helps offset these expenses.
