India, Calcutta - Cost of Living

The economy of India is the twelfth largest economy in the world by nominal value and the fourth largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). In the 1990s, following economic reform from the socialist-inspired economy of post-independence India, the country began to experience rapid economic growth, as markets opened for international competition and investment. In the 21st century, India is an emerging economic power with vast human and natural resources, and a huge knowledge base.

Calcutta is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. Calcutta is the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India and the northeastern states.
