Delhi is the capital of India and a city that attracts many people from all over the country looking for jobs.

When flying from Japan to India, there are many cases where they first enter Delhi. Riding the Airport Express, which runs from the airport and is reminiscent of the Narita Express, makes me think, “Delhi is also modern.

However, when I got off the limited express and entered the city, I was overwhelmed by the explosive population, and it was difficult to get on the subway. Stray dogs, monkeys, cows, and squirrels roam the streets, and children who look like beggars can be seen.

However, on the other hand, young people who drove around in German cars and local women dressed like New Yorkers with Chanel bags were walking around while fiddling with iPhones.

If you've only been to developed countries, you'll be amazed at the chaos in Delhi, India's capital. If I were to compare it to Japan, it would be a city where pre-war rural life and modern urban life are mixed up.

Delhi is also known as an “expensive city” with a very high cost of living.

However, it is actually less expensive than Mumbai. Mumbai is the financial center of India, so it has slightly higher consumer prices than Delhi. (Although the difference is only 2%, which is insignificant.)

​

How much does it cost to live in Delhi?

■The average price of real estate and rent is 16% higher than Mumbai, while food and dining out are cheaper than Mumbai. In other words, you can have a more satisfying diet for the same amount of money in Delhi than in Mumbai.

However, if you spend your days eating out every day, it will cost about 9,000 to 12,000 Indian rupees (about 14,000 to 19,000 yen).

■Delhi has a well-developed subway system, so you can travel around the city with a cheap ticket. As mentioned above, the Airport Express runs from the airport, and you can transfer to the city metro from there.

■ If you want to rent a studio room in a safe area of Delhi, you need 9000-12000 Indian rupees (approximately 14000-19000 yen). The closer you get to the center of town, the higher the rent will probably be.

■3500 to 4500 Indian rupees (approximately 5700 to 7400 yen) for internet access, telephone, cable TV, etc. 6000 Indian rupees (about 9900 yen) for miscellaneous expenses such as daily necessities for the new house.

A salary of INR 35,000 ($500) a month should be yours if you want to enjoy middle-class Delhi life.

■The average salary in Delhi is higher than the average salary in Mumbai, and there are many advantages such as relatively convenient transportation by subway and low food costs. If things go well, you might even be able to save some money in this town.
