This former princely state, known for its turbulent and rich history, famous for its pearls and infamous for its connection to the Kohinoor - not forgetting its delectable Hyderabadi Biryani, is today considered one of India's fastest growing metros. Besides emerging as a major competitor to IT/ITES hubs like Bangalore & Pune, Hyderabad is also a center for pharmaceuticals and entertainment industries. According to an estimate by the Government of Andhra Pradesh: By 2020,the city will grow 3 times its current size, which in turn means, tremendous scope of real estate appreciation. Currently, the real estate prices in Hyderabad are still under middle class reach, unlike other upcoming metros. The most popular locations are Banjara Hills, Madhapur, Himayat Nagar, Jubilee Hills and Ameerpet.
