Abstract: Inflation refers to an increase in the general price of goods and services, adversely affecting the quality of human life. It reduces the purchasing power of the individual, which creates a multidimensional impact on people’s well-being and satisfaction levels. This study aims to analyse the impact of inflation on urban quality of life in the Mumbai suburban region, focusing on middle- and lower-income groups. This study considers various dimensions to study the quality of life of urban residents, such as housing costs, purchasing power, access to material goods, fulfilment of basic needs, healthcare services, leisure activities, and educational expenses. By analyzing these dimensions, this study seeks to highlight the challenges faced by these income groups due to inflation and offer insights for improving their living conditions.
