Chanda Nagar is a suburb of Hyderabad and is located close to Lingampally and Miyapur.[2] It is administered as Ward No. 110 of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.[3]
It has a mixture of commercial and residential properties with shopping malls and housing colonies. Power equipment manufacturer Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)- is about (8 km) from Chandanagar.
It has undergone a drastic change in recent years especially due to its proximity to major IT companies like CA, Microsoft, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, Polaris, CMC, Honeywell, CTS and Infotech, and Hi-Tech city. Many IT professionals choose to stay at Chandanagar for the all-around facilities provided and the peaceful environment. Major educational institutes such as Indian School of Business (ISB), International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), and Hyderabad Central University are within 10 km and it is also the nearest major suburb to the newly established Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
The area has become a multi-community living area. In the recent GHMC elections, Mrs. Manjula Raghunath Reddy won the corporate seat.
