This consistency was not compared to that of Abu Dhabi, which remained remarkable across all years and reflected a good safety and law enforcement approach.

India’s Safest City: Ahmedabad

India score: In terms of India, Ahmedabad was the safest of all with an overall score of 68.6, and it ranked 77th globally. The city’s position reflects the improvement we are making in public safety, growing our infrastructure, and powerful law enforcement. While it is not the top performer globally, it is an important driver in India and is demonstrating increasing commitment to the safety of its public and visitors.

The list also includes other Indian cities like Jaipur (ranked 96), Coimbatore (ranked 112), Chennai (ranked 123), among others. However, India’s big metros like Delhi, Noida, and Bengaluru are largely at the bottom of the rankings, with Delhi’s ranking slipping to a low 234 in the world.

Here’s a look at some of the safest cities in India:

Ahmedabad – Rank: 77, Safety Index: 68.6

Jaipur – Rank: 96, Safety Index: 65.2

Coimbatore – Rank: 112, Safety Index: 62.0

Chennai – Rank: 123, Safety Index: 60.3

Pune – Rank: 129, Safety Index: 58.7.

Hyderabad – Rank: 139, Safety Index: 57.3

Mumbai – Rank: 145, Safety Index: 55.9

Kolkata – Rank: 166, Safety Index: 53.3

Gurugram – Rank: 209, Safety Index: 46.0

Bengaluru – Rank: 211, Safety Index: 45.7

Noida – Rank: 214, Safety Index: 44.9

Delhi – Rank: 234, Safety Index: 41.0

Though India has seen some gains in some cities, it is still grappling with major challenges in ensuring public safety, with crime perception and issues such as harassment and crime against property being high in certain urban areas.

The Safety Index And Why It Matters

The Safety Index is based on surveys from Numbeo taken by website visitors. The data is formatted much like government surveys, and includes a variety of factors, including:

General perception of crime levels

Sensation of security by day and by night

Worries about certain crimes, such as mugging, robbery, the possibility of violent attacks and getting your belongings stolen

Severity of violent crime, e.g., assault, murder, and sex offences

The Safety Index measures the inverse of the Crime Index, so the higher the Safety Index, the safer the city. Those cities that have a high Safety Index are considered safe both for visitors as well as locals, so if you are thinking of going to these cities and want to find some safe places, then you need to have a look at these cities.

Why Abu Dhabi Is Ahead in Safety

Several reasons are behind the success of Abu Dhabi as the safest city for nine straight years. Israel’s infrastructure in the city is well developed, crime is relatively low, and much of the city is patrolled properly. The UAE government has also poured investment into safety measures in order to guarantee public security and safeguard social stability. It’s more than just a cosmopolitan mecca of contemporary conveniences and international luxuries; this Emirates city has fostered a haven out in the sand, and it’s the perfect place to conduct business and enjoy some leisure.

Final Takeaway: A Safer Future for Cities Far and Wide

The global trend toward greater safety in many jurisdictions is evident when looking at the 2025 Safety Index by City, where Abu Dhabi is at the front of the pack. Here in India, some cities like Ahmedabad are doing a good job, but there are definitely regional complexities when it comes to safety. For travelers seeking safe havens, Abu Dhabi and other emirates offer down-to-earth options. As global safety standards change, I hope places around the world are inspired to do the same, to invest in infrastructure, security, and community confidence to create a safer place for everyone.
