Prices in cities of India
Prices in the capital are relatively higher than in other cities.
The cost of living depends on rented accommodation for foreigners. If only for the reason that everything else is affordable.
The subway fare costs 20 Indian rupees. The bus fare costs 5 Indian rupees.
It is considered to be the norm for taxi drivers to rip off tourists by charging much more than usual for one cab ride.
Dinner would cost you from 60 rupees at the local café.
Prices for foodstuffs
Indian cuisine is one the most exotic all over the world. Hindus adore spices, kitchen herbs, and unusual combination of tastes. Honestly, they usually don’t wash their hands before cooking. Breakfast would cost you 60 rupees at the local snack bar.
Prices for foodstuffs are almost the same across the country. It’s easier to find needful goods in big cities because of a large number of stores.

Housing rent
I’ll start by saying that not every European person would be able to live like people here. In this country, problems with poverty and sanitation are rife. If you are going to spend time in this country, then you need to choose where to live carefully.
A very mediocre apartment in town will cost 2500 rupees per month’s rent. Prices in the capital are much higher. Can you live in such accommodation? I don’t know.
Hotel room in Delhi would cost from 700 rupees per day. It’s better to choose higher – priced hotels.
What to bring from India?
India has a plenty of unusual and interesting stuff. There is a lot to bring, including rare infectious diseases. You can take them home for yourself as well as for others as a present.

2. Clothes and jewellery. There is a choice.
3. Spices. There is a wide range of ones, but try to buy in reliable spots.
