Indian cities rank among the worst in the world for quality of life, according to the Oxford Economics Global Cities Index 2026.

Delhi, the best-ranked Indian city, secured an overall rank of 268 but had a quality-of-life rank of 781 and an environmental rank of 915. Bengaluru came next, with an overall rank of 311, a quality-of-life position of 775, and an environmental rank of 528. Mumbai ranked 330 overall, with poor quality-of-life and environmental performance.
Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, and Kochi also lag behind in quality of life and environmental rankings, while Thrissur, Kochi, and Thrissur stand out with better living conditions and environmental performance among the ten cities.
