New Delhi, December 20, 2025 — Google has officially introduced its Pixel Upgrade Program in India, a new financing and device lifecycle initiative aimed at making its premium smartphones more accessible. Launched in collaboration with Cashify, Bajaj Finance Ltd., and HDFC Bank, the program allows tech enthusiasts to switch to the latest Pixel model every year through a structured and affordable monthly plan.
The initiative is built around a 24-month no-cost EMI structure, with monthly payments starting at just ₹3,333. This program covers the entire current flagship lineup, including:
The primary draw is the assured buyback guarantee. Unlike traditional trade-ins where the value fluctuates based on minor scratches, Google’s program protects the buyback value regardless of physical condition, provided the device powers on and passes basic functional checks.
To join the program, customers can follow these steps:
When you decide to upgrade, Cashify credits your bank account with the remaining balance of your original loan. This allows you to close the old loan without any pre-closure charges and start a fresh EMI cycle for the newest Pixel.
In addition to flexible financing, Google is offering a suite of “extra perks” to sweeten the deal:
| Feature | Pixel 10 Pro / Pro XL / Fold | Pixel 10 (Standard) |
| Google AI Pro | 1 Year Free | 6 Months Free (Google One 2TB) |
| Fitbit Premium | 6 Months Free | 6 Months Free |
| YouTube Premium | 3 Months Free | 3 Months Free |
| Exchange Bonus | Up to ₹7,000 | Up to ₹7,000 |
For a long time, the high upfront cost of flagship devices has been a barrier for many in India. By shifting from a “ownership stress” model to a “subscription-like” ritual, Google is targeting value-conscious buyers who want the latest AI features—like Gemini Advanced—without the resale “drama” or depreciation nightmares.
The program is set to run until June 30, 2026, across major retail outlets in the country. With this move, Google is clearly signaling its intent to make the Pixel a long-term habit for Indian users rather than a one-time splurge.
