Ameerpet is a residential hub located in the north-west part of Hyderabad, Telangana. Ameerpet is also a Mandal in Hyderabad District. The locality borders Sardar Patel Road and National Highway 65. Though consisting of vacant plots till a few years back, the area is now bustling with commercial and residential establishments.
Popular areas located close to Ameerpet include Panjagutta, Begumpet, Sanath Nagar and Somajiguda.[citation needed]
Until the early 1990s, the area mostly consisted of vacant plots, Jagirdar lands, Nawabs houses, estates and roadside restaurants to serve the traffic along NH9 to Bombay. Commercial activity first shifted here from the center of the city in the 1990s with the expansion of the northern suburbs of Hyderabad due to ongoing construction activity in the area and its surrounding areas. Today it is a bustling locality with several commercial establishments along with high pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
