India City Competitiveness Report

With rapid urbanization taking place, Indian cities play a pivotal role in the economic development of the country. Our states and nation are nothing but a summation of our cities, thus it is not inordinate to assert that the state of the cities reflects the state of our nation.

The India City Competitiveness Report is an annual endeavor to analyze and evaluate Indian cities and the business opportunities they offer to the Indian economy. The study ranks India’s most competitive cities to gauge their productivity and not only accentuates the competitive strengths, but also focuses on weaknesses so that a clear picture of the present is portrayed along with future prospects.
