At 12 million, Mumbai has more internet users than any other city in the country, according to data released by the Internet And Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). This has much to do with the population of a city that's bursting at the seams, and the study included Mumbai's urban agglomerate (Thane and Navi Mumbai). Increasing awareness about the internet here is also responsible for the large number of users in India's financial capital, says Nilotpal Chakravarti, associate vice-president, IAMAI.

 

The country's capital ranks No 2, with 8.1 million users, followed by Hyderabad (4.7 million). While internet reach in Kolkata remains lower than most metros, the city has shown a 47% increase in internet users since 2012, the highest year-on-year increase among metros, followed by Mumbai (45%). Ahmedabad (26%) recorded the lowest growth rate since 2012.
