Tech salaries by Indian city

City pages explain local market shape and link to role guides. We do not generate nearly identical doorway pages by swapping a city name.

• Bangalore

  Bengaluru remains India's densest tech market. The ceiling is still higher here than in most other cities — especially at product companies and GCCs — but competition and living costs are also higher.

• Hyderabad

  Hyderabad is the 2026 hiring-growth story more than the absolute-pay story. GCCs and AI-tagged roles expanded faster here than in Bengaluru in the August JobSpeak print.

• Pune

  Several SalaryScope editorial tables use Pune as a 1.0× baseline. That does not mean Pune is cheap — it means other metros are often expressed as a premium over Pune.

• Chennai

  Chennai is a services-plus-GCC market with a smaller but sharper semiconductor and EDA pocket. Generic app-dev pay often tracks Pune more than Bangalore.

• Mumbai

  Mumbai tech pay is pulled by BFSI, fintech, and captives more than by a generic product-startup density like Bangalore.

• Delhi NCR

  Delhi NCR (including Gurugram and Noida) is a mixed product-and-captive market. Treat Gurgaon product seats and Noida services seats as different price lists.
