Hyderabad
Hyderabad is the capital city of Telangana state, covering 650 square kilometres of land at 542 metres above sea level. King Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah set up the city on the Musi River in 1591, and more than 11 million people live here now. The city is governed by the GHMC and plans its growth through the HMDA body across 7,257 square kilometres. Its map spot sits at 17.3850° N and 78.4867° E on the high Deccan ground.
Today, the city mixes old stone gates with bright tech parks in HITEC City and Gachibowli, bringing in more than half of the money for Telangana. Fast roads like the 158-kilometre Outer Ring Road (ORR) and new metro train lines make it easy to move, work, and buy a home here.
