Focusing on the megacity of Hyderabad, this study examines lifestyle differences within its urban population, challenging the conventional rich versus poor narrative. By applying a lifestyle typology, it explores how socio-economic factors influence greenhouse gas emissions, revealing that income alone does not accurately reflect contributions to climate change. The research incorporates India-specific values and social practices to highlight social structural variations, offering a nuanced understanding of environmental impact in a rapidly evolving urban context.
