YouTube premium in India costs about 129rs / mo ($1.5) with a three month free trial and has no ads and free youtube music.

I think it may be more expensive in US.

Good lord, my price is €12.99 /month (Germany). I guess that's what Google calculates as the purchasing power parity exchange rate, but credit to them, at least they're taking that into consideration.
I feel like that's fine, honestly. They've probably done the math and found it's better to sell YouTube Premium for a dollar in India and get a bunch of Indians on the service than to charge $25 or whatever everywhere and end up getting almost nobody over there.
I pay $23/USD/mo for the family version in the US.
I bought a year long subscription for 1,159 INR which is $14. But I feel they will increase the price soon.

I don’t need the Youtube music but just want to get rid of ads.

Here in Europe it is €11.99, so about 13 dollars a month.
Not all of Europe! It's about 3 USD in Ukraine, for example.
Interesting, I assumed the prices would be the same or at least roughly the same in whole of Europe! My price was in Finland.
And 15,90 CHF (18.56 USD) in Switzerland (for one person).

Steam and other digital service providers always have really high, or the highest prices in Switzerland.
