How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of India (0.23048401137914248, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.25, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 87.1584483507393 INR to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.
