Hyderabad has emerged as the city with the best quality of living in India for the third year in a row shared with Pune in Mercer’s Quality of Living rankings 2017. The National Capital, New Delhi continues to be ranked lowest for the second time in a row.
Hyderabad and Pune cities rank higher for the quality of living than the country’s more traditional business centers, Mumbai and New Delhi. Globally, Vienna is ranked first and the top-ten list mostly filled by European cities – Zurich (2), Munich (4), Dusseldorf (6), Frankfurt (7), Geneva (8), Copenhagen (9), and Basel (10).
Even though, Hyderabad continues to be top in the country. The Capital City of Telangana has slipped five ranks from 139 last year to 144, on account of decreased power supply and water availability. But then in comparison with other surveyed Indian cities, the city scored high on account of the lower crime rate.
