Mercer, which conducts its quality of living survey annually to help multinational companies and other employers compensate employees fairly when placing them on international assignments, the release said. Hyderabad leaves behind Delhi. Mumbai and Bangalore to become the best Indian city to live in. Hyderabad was ranked 138th position globally by the Mercer report. Hyderabad beat many other cities in India like Pune (145), IT Hub Bangalore (146), Chennai (141), Mumbai (152) and India’s Capital New Delhi (154).

“Indian cities have not made much progress on the quality of living scale, scoring nearly the same as they did last year. However, over time, Hyderabad has emerged as a city of choice due to factors such as improved options for international schools. Additionally, the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is located 22 km from the city and offers a good range of international flights, which improves its ranking on account of public services,” the Mercer report said.

This report was prepared considering many aspects like political and social environment, medical care and health considerations, public services, recreation facilities and natural environment. The reason behind ranking Hyderabad ahead of traditional business centers was given by the Mercer report. This pointed out that Indian cities were ‘safer’ than most others in South Asia.

“While other factors have remained constant, considerable population increases in Mumbai and New Delhi in recent decades have lead to an increase in problems like access to clean water, air pollution, and traffic congestion.” Mercer report has stated Vienna as the city with the best quality of living in the world for the second consecutive time followed by Zurich, Auckland, and Munich at the second, third, and fourth place.
