Social media platforms are moving toward subscription-driven models, and Elon Musk’s X is no exception.
For millions of Indian users who hesitated to pay for verification and premium tools, the platform has rolled out a rare opportunity: X Premium at under Rs. 100 for the first month.
To celebrate X’s third anniversary, the company has opened access to premium features, including the blue verification badge, long-form posts, boosted reach, and reduced ads at just Rs. 89 for first-time subscribers.
Social media in India has been witnessing a major shift, with X (formerly Twitter) making its premium tier available to a much wider audience at a limited-time price of less than Rs. 100.
To mark the platform’s third anniversary, X has launched a special promotional offer that allows first-time subscribers to access premium perks, including a blue verification badge, long-form posts, boosted visibility, and reduced ads, for the first month at Rs. 89 only.
For years, X Premium has been a feature associated with influencers, creators, and professionals who are willing to pay for the monthly subscription. However, with the new low entry price, casual users can also avail of the premium features without spending a lot.
However, the offer won’t last long. Soon, it will end, and again X will return to the previous prices for premium subscribers. Therefore, if you are interested, you should understand the eligibility requirements, activation steps, and benefits before proceeding with the subscription process. Don’t let this opportunity slip.

Before we dive into activating the X Premium for Rs. 89, it’s worth understanding why the offer is attractive. If you are unsure why the subscription matters, you should know that there’s more beyond the blue tick. The subscription brings advanced features to enhance user engagement and creator monetization.

The answer can’t be the same for everyone; what your plans with X will decide whether it is worth it. Therefore, it is ideal for those who want the blue tick for credibility. Creators who post often and want more visibility should consider Premium as one of the finest options.
Similarly, if you want long-form posting without threads and better content formatting, as well as video uploads, Premium is for you. Your posts also can’t be monetized without Premium.
Alternatively, if you rarely use X or post content and prefer a free social media experience without any paid upgrade, X Premium will be just a luxury for you. Anyway, for trying out the features once, one can grab X at Rs. 89, which is a low-risk investment.
