Bengaluru and Pune Rank High in Global Traffic Congestion

Bengaluru and Pune, two big cities in India, have some of the worst traffic in the world.

Bengaluru is the second most congested city globally, just behind Mexico City.

It takes a long time to drive short distances, especially during rush hours.

In 2025, people in Bengaluru lost about 7 days of their time sitting in traffic.

The worst day was May 17, when the traffic was the worst.

Pune is also very congested, ranked fifth globally.

It takes about 33 minutes to drive 10 km in Pune, and the average speed during peak hours is very slow.

Many other Indian cities also have bad traffic, like Mumbai, New Delhi, and Kolkata.

This shows that a lot of cities in India have trouble with too many cars and not enough roads and public transport.
