Hi Sathish

Cost of living is always a relative issue that depends on individual circumstances and your expectations. Broadly speaking, consumer prices in Saudi Arabia are around 60 percent higher than in India, for example. But at the same time, the purchasing power in Saudi Arabia is 40 percent higher too, so you get more value for your money. 

Read our Cost of Living in Saudi Arabia page to get a better idea. Also have a look at Working in Saudi Arabia to get more information about the work environment there. Finally, maybe have a look at a site like Numbeo for some numbers.

Best of luck,
