For a long time, cities in Andhra Pradesh struggled to make it to India’s top 10 in the Ease of Living rankings. In fact, during the 2020 report, not a single city from the state featured in the top group.
The decline of Tirupati was particularly striking, falling from 4th place to 46th in the Ease of Living Index during the YSR Congress Party’s rule—a drop that drew sharp criticism from the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP), now back in power.
The scenario has changed dramatically in 2025. In the latest Ease of Living rankings, Tirupati and Vijayawada have both secured spots in India’s top 10. Notably, these are the only two cities from South India to achieve this distinction, placing Andhra Pradesh ahead of several larger states and metropolitan areas.
Tirupati’s resurgence reflects the clear vision of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who has committed to making the city one of the best in the country for livability. Soon after assuming office, he instructed officials to prioritize cleanliness, traffic management, public safety, and citizen services over paperwork, and last year unveiled a comprehensive development vision for Tirupati.
As part of this initiative, a new police headquarters was inaugurated in Tirupati around the time the 2025 rankings were announced, aimed at improving law and order, faster response, and public confidence—all key factors in the livability index.
With two cities now in the national top 10, Andhra Pradesh is steadily reclaiming its urban credibility through focused leadership and effective administration.
