India's wealth concentration shifts away from six largest cities, PRICE-Tata analysis finds
A joint PRICE and Tata Sons report analyzing 100 Indian cities over a decade found that economic activity and wealth are increasingly dispersed beyond India's traditional six major metros, according to the analysis. ThePrint Consulting Editor (Economics) Bidisha Bhattacharya explains that the report examined urban income, spending, saving, and debt patterns to argue that national aggregate figures mask significant city-level economic variation. Per the analysis, this challenges conventional assumptions about where India's consumer and investment activity concentrates.
