Hi @Srinivas Naraipeddi,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Based on your inquiry, we understand that, you would like to increase the existing core values from 1 to 4 without cost for Microsoft Azure SQL RTM developer edition.

We would like to inform you that, you can increase the core values using Azure Lab services with Azure subscription. You can request a core limit increase to continue using Azure Lab Services. An increase is sometimes called an increase in capacity or a quota increase. The request process allows the Azure Lab Services team to ensure that your subscription isn't involved in any cases of fraud or unintentional, sudden large-scale deployments.

I would request you to refer the below mentioned links for more information.
