Close

Miyapur has many lakes, and upscale residential apartments. The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University is nearby.

Miyapur is one of Hyderabad's busiest places at the head of the Miyapur – L.B. Nagar metro rail corridor.[3] Industrial facilities include IT, pharmaceutical, apparel and industrial development areas. It is strategically located on NH65, the Pune-Hyderabad-Machilipatnam highway. Contributing to the growth are connectivity via the Miyapur-Gachibowli and Miyapur-Kompally intermediate ring roads, and developments like the Hyderabad Metro and ICBT.

History

Miyapur, a Major village, close to Hyderabad, owes much of its ancient history, to the history of Hyderabad. Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, Bahmanis, Qutb Shahis, Mughals and Asaf Jahis ruled this region.[4] It was often referred to as an extension of the Bachupally village.

Miyapur is now a part of Ranga Reddy (RR) district, previously known as 'Hyderabad (Rural)' district, which was formed on 15 August 1978, by carving out and deleting the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, a few surrounding urban settlements that formed the urban core, of the erstwhile district of Hyderabad in the erstwhile Indian state of Hyderabad and renamed as Ranga Reddy district after the Late Sri K. V. Ranga Reddy, then deputy chief minister of erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh.

Geography

Miyapur is located at the heart of the Deccan Plateau of the Indian subcontinent in South Asia with 17.4968°N 78.3614°E / 17.4968; 78.3614 geo coordinates near Kukatpally.[5] Minable minerals include quartz, felspar and limestone.[6] Sand quarrying is also done.

Economy

Agriculture was the predominant occupation, before the urbanization of Miyapur. The main crops were cotton, maize, sugar cane, ground nut, red gram etc. In addition Flori-culture, dairy, vegetable cultivation were being practiced by the farmers.[6] Sand quarrying is also an occupation.

For sometime now, Miyapur is turning around, to be a more urban economy with people working in large corporates and moving away from agriculture.
