Delhi, Mumbai fall in Liveability Index due to air quality & culture downgrade

Indian cities have registered a fall in the Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Index for 2019 compared to last year. New Delhi dropped six places to 118, from 112 last year, due to an increase in petty crime cases and the dip in air quality levels. Mumbai also fell in this year's index, by two places to 119, from 117 last year, as a result of a downgrade in its culture category. Among the toppers are Vienna and Melbourne who have been neck and neck in the EIU survey for several years.
