Dilsukhnagar

The name "Dilsukhnagar" is derived from Dilsukh Ramprasad, an agricultural land owner who lived around Malakpet. It is said that he subdivided his land into plots and built a colony which he named Dilsukhnagar.

Dilsukhnagar was once a purely residential suburb; however, in the last decade strong economic growth has transformed it into a major commercial hub.

Dilsukhnagar was merged into the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation in 2007 after an order passed by the Government of Telangana. It is now a part of the Telangana State Assembly.

• Ideal Degree College for Women (IDCW) is also situated in here.
• URX Institute of Fashion Technology is located here
• Siddhartha Degree College (SDC) is located here.

The suburb houses a Telangana State Road Transport Corporation bus depot.[2]
