As per the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) Ease of Living Index Report, 2020, Odisha capital Bhubaneswar has emerged as the fourth-ranked capital city among the top 10 liveable capital cities in the country.

As per the report, Bengaluru is the most livable capital city in India, followed by Chennai, Shimla and Bhubaneswar. While the capital city Bhubaneswar scored 59.85 in the Ease of Living Index, Delhi and Mumbai have scored 57.56 and 58.23, respectively. However, Bengaluru, Chennai and Shimla ranked higher than Bhubaneswar with a score of 66.7, 62.61 and 60.90, respectively.

The four parameters used to determine the score of the ease of living index are economic ability, quality of life, perception of citizens and sustainability.
