Woman surprised over ‘insane’ prices in Mumbai after visiting Singapore, netizens blame inflation and GST

A woman called out rising prices in Mumbai after her visit to Singapore, one of the most expensive cities in the world. “Drinks in nice restaurants in Mumbai are 800-1200 with taxes, boojee charges 600 for a sandwich and that's how much their equivalents in sg cost too- the baseline you need to pay for some comfort and luxury in India is so high with restaurants, hotel stays, drinks, cafes etc,” she adds. "Yep totally agreed, it's because of the inequality that even little things like grabbing a coffee from a cafe is a "luxury" that costs 450 rupees while most of us don't make as much as our developed country counterparts to make these expenses make sense," she said. I feel like it’s a combo of crazy high rents in India inflating everything & classism - people want to be gated away from most of society,” commented one user.
