Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Surat. Any other city defaults to a fixed mid-range index value.
It uses a fixed, hardcoded index score per city (Mumbai = 100, the highest) built into the tool rather than live rent, grocery, or transport data. Treat the equivalent-salary output as a rough directional estimate, not a precise cost-of-living study.

It's a static set of values in the tool, not connected to a live cost-of-living data source — check a current cost-of-living report if you need up-to-date figures.
