What's new

New Delhi, Mumbai among world's cheapest cities

Mumbai is comparable to Karachi
but surprised about Delhi
Delhi is also in this list maybe bcz of Gang rapes

Karachi is comparable to tier II cities of India, forget comparing to tier I cities like Mumbai, Delhi or Bangalore.

1 Indian Rupee = 2.37 Sri Lankan Rupee

LPG is 12.5 kg cylinder per month. (normally around 25 days!)
Normally we use between 180-220 units per month for electricity, if exceed 90 unit mark we have to pay a lot for a unit
We have 4 members in our family.

electricity= INR 5.5/kwh
LPG=14kg net wt 450 INR (only 9 allowed /annum)(cheaper than your??)
mobile , TV depends on usage and carrier
Internet 800 INR for 2Mbps (depends on ISP):undecided:
Petrol = 74.50 INR

LPG seems double than Indian price, why only 9 allowed?
petrol - 159 LKR per liter
Government reduced the broadband tax by 50% last month and 4G LTE went live last months, I'm sure broadband prices and SAT TV prices will go down in the future...
