Delhi and Mumbai remain India's largest urban centres but Bengaluru is mounting a serious challenge to this duopoly having quickly closed the gap in the past decade and in fact pipping Mumbai in several parameters.

JOBS & SALARIES

In 10 years Delhi-NCR added twice the companies Mumbai did but Bengaluru growth was fastest among major metros.

In years since 2019 the city has led metros in creating EPF-registered employees.

Average annual growth 2019-2023 (%)

Not just jobs Bengaluru pays better for most white- and blue-collar work. The base salary for software engineers in Bengaluru is 13%-33% higher than in other cities.

In 2018, Bengaluru overtook Delhi-NCR in paying the highest monthly salaries to blue-collar workers in just five years. Similarly Pune outdid Mumbai.

*Data for 72,000 Quess employees (June 2018) and 108,000 Quess employees (June 2023) in workforce management (staffing business) earning below Rs 21,000/month.

URBAN PROFILE

Delhi & Mumbai have more passport holders but India's IT city comfortably tops in percentage of population with a passport.

Meanwhile Gurgaon Navi Mumbai and Thane are among the most expensive housing markets in India.

CONNECTIVITY

Delhi top of the pile but a surprise at No. 2 Bengaluru has pipped Mumbai in terms of domestic flight destinations. However both Mumbai & Delhi are opening their second airports next year — Navi Mumbai & Noida Jewar.

Delhi's car capital Bengaluru comes second Mumbai's neighbour has seen highest percentage growth in new car registrations Bengaluru recently overtook Mumbai.

QUALITY OF LIFE

Breathe easiest in Chennai Bengaluru...

Bengaluru sees most days with 'satisfactory' AQI. India's pollution pollution capital didn't record any 'good' air days.

True to its residents’ claims Bengaluru has the most pleasant weather. Last year it recorded 181 days — the most among Indian cities — when daily maximum temperatures were between 20°C and 30°C.

Traffic is a nightmare

One area where Bengaluru needs major improvement is traffic. Delhi fares better with wider roads and larger area but cruising on Mumbai roads is relatively easier.

Rise of Bengaluru: From tech hub to metropolitan powerhouse

In just a decade Bengaluru has evolved from a budding tech hub to a metropolitan powerhouse rivaling the traditional dominance of Delhi and Mumbai.
