How much pune is Expensive than Kolkatta?What about cost of food n rent of house?Plz tell me in details.?

Answer 1

Pune is much more expansive for accomodations, in my experience, as there are less desireable areas than in Calcutta.

Calcutta is a big city with rather good public transportation systems, and plenty of taxis. It is easy to find housing in Calcutta that is accessible to the whole city.

Pune is a poorly organized town turning city, that has poor infrastructure and horrible public transportation systems. Therefore, unless you want to spend lots of time, and possibly money, commuting in Pune, you are best off to stay in one of the few, expensive, preferred neighborhoods, such as K.P.

The allure of Calcutta, in my opinion, can be found throughout much of the city. Yet in Pune, the allure is very regional. If you stay in the wrong neighborhood, you've got an experience that isn't necessarily that Pune experience that people seek. Meaning, if you want diversity in restaurants (not just Indian and Indian-Chinese), if you want easy access to modern malls and movie theatres, if you want to feel it's rising progressive youth culture, etc, you are limited in where you can stay.

Most of Pune, it seems, is suburban condo sprawl which makes for cheaper rent, but more time and money needed to access the advantages of this growing city.

As for food, Pune needn't be more than Calcutta. It all depends upon which favorite places you find/develop in both cities.

I spend much more on food in Calcutta than Pune, because I really like a snazzy restaurant there- Sanjeev Kapoor's "Grain of Salt." On the other end of the market, I really enjoy Bengali fish curry (which is cheap and delicious) and a place called Harirams (I think it's called)- when it isn't busy.

In Pune, the food isn't as tasty, in general, as in Calcutta. And thus, it can be pricey to eat a nice meal- such as in KP at any of the new restaurants, or at the five stars. By the way, Le Meridian has much higher quality food than the Taj Blue Diamond. It is a better property in every way. If you are non-veg, you might enjoy the weekend brunch buffet, which is relatively expensive for India (cheap by Western standards), yet world-class.

All in all, if you are choosing between these two cities I'd say that if you are a young Indian with money to spend you'd likely prefer Pune. And, if you are more mature or cultured or are from another country, you might prefer Calcutta as it has a more developed local culture, more opportunities, and is bit more civilized compared to the totally unplanned vibe of sprawling Pune.

Answer 2

The latest surveys of cost per living are taken from the government website. A simple Google search will get you to this site. The cost of living in Pune is considered almost 12% higher than Kolkatta! I am not completely sure why this is so - but if you look across all sectors of pricing housing, food and transportation - the higher cost of living in Pune is well detailed.
