Kothapet is a suburb of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[2]

History

Kothapet village was a gram panchayat until the passage of Government Order by the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh government wherein it was absorbed into the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority region thereby subsuming the municipality into municipal corporation.[3]. The merger of the village into the municipality was challenged subsequently in a petition to the Telangana High Court, but was quashed due to lack of merits[4].

Kothapet houses one of largest fruit markets[5] in the state of Telangana, and is an upcoming real estate destination[6]. Owing to the congestion due to local businesses, it was proposed that the market in Gaddiannaram be shifted to Koheda[7]. Naveen Valluru is the chief

Transport

TSRTC connects Kothapet by buses to several parts of Hyderabad. Kothapet will also be connected by Hyderabad Metro Rail in the Red Line Corridor in the future[8].
