18 Jul
Summary
- Delhi is the world's cheapest major city for a romantic date.
- Broadband internet in Delhi is the most inexpensive globally.
- Delhi's net monthly salary is among the lowest, ranking 66th.
According to a recent report comparing global cost of living and quality of life, Delhi stands out as the world's cheapest major city for a romantic date. A 'cheap date' in Delhi costs around $103, a fraction of the $475 charged in Geneva. The city also offers the most inexpensive broadband internet globally, with a monthly connection costing just $7.3.
Despite these affordability advantages, Delhi's salaries are significantly lower than international benchmarks. The report ranks Delhi 66th out of 69 cities for net monthly salaries, which average $538. This figure represents only 10% of New York's salary levels. Property prices in the city centre are also low, averaging $2,465 per square metre, placing Delhi 65th globally.
