I've only been to Mumbai and Delhi of the list. I picked Mumbai as climate was better than Delhi in my view, though I liked the food better in Delhi (don't get me wrong, food in Mumbai was great, too).
I haven't been to Mumbai or Bangalore. However, I have been to New Delhi and it has a number of nice attractions. It also has a lot of upscale hotels. I need to go there again and see more of it though.
As far as quality of living, it's going to depend on your socioeconomic status. If you're upper-middle class, then you're going to have a pretty good quality of life.
New Delhi right now has possibly the worst air pollution in the entire world, according to the U.N. world health organization. (Mexico City no longer holds that title).
New Delhi all the way. It is difficult to find proper accomodation in Mumbai and Bangalore. Public Transit in New Delhi with Metro is better then Mumbai and Bangalore.
If one is not from South India, one can expect to be fleeced by everybody (Landlord, Taxi ) in Bangalore.
Mumbai is a fantastic city but very very crowded and expensive plus many times draconian laws like Forced vegetarianism by neighbours and growing right wing intolerance.
New Delhi - everybody is from somewhere and nobody will bother you. No wonder maximum Foreigners in India live in New Delhi. Pune and Bangalore are two cities in India which should be avoided- expats or tourists.
Following make Bangalore the Best City to Live in India:
Career Opportunities - Bangalore is the IT hub of India. Even all major startups are being incorporated here. Lakhs of jobs are being created in Bangalore not just in technology sector but all major sectors.
Cost of Living - Bangalore has a reasonable cost of living. Apartments in kanakapura road, nekal, Attibele, Hosa Road, Begur, Bidadi, Kammasandra, Kengeri, Chandapura, Hoskote and Rajanukunte, areas outside the city's periphery are quite affordable as compared to its other Metro city counterparts such as Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon etc.
Safety & Security - Quite a safe city. Women can walk without fear during night time also.
Education - Bangalore boasts of top institutes like IISc, IIM etc. and has world class educational institutes from primary education to higher education.
Healthcare Facilities - Has world class medical facilities. Boasts of top hospitals like Narayan Hrudayalaya, Fortis, Apollo etc. all across the city.
Infrastructure Facilities - Has a world class international airport. Bangalore Metro has already started and in future the Metor network will be expanded across the city.
Climate - One of the biggest USPs of Bangalore is its weather. You neither require an AC in summers nor quilts in winters. The temperature hovers between 20 to 27 degree celsius all through the year.
Culture - Bangalore has completely transformed itself into a cosmopolitan city. Today a young technocrat represents Bangalore more than a Kannadiga. You will find young technocrats working here peacefully from all across India and in fact the world.
Food & Entertainment Avenues - Bangalore has some great restaurants and pubs. It is also the first choice for many music and cultural concerts. On a weekend, you can sneak to Kerala, Goa or Tamil Nadu. All are at 7-8 hours drive.
