Monda Market is a vegetable market located at Secunderabad. It is said to have been established more than 100 years ago to cater to resident British army units.[1] The market is located approximately at 500m from Secunderabad Railway Station. It was one of the largest wholesale and retail markets in Hyderabad. No parking spaces are available. Officially about 375 traders have business in the Monda Market. GHMC has stated that due to poor conditions and inadequate facilities, the existing structure is to be demolished and a new multi-storied complex was to be constructed in its place. In 1998, the wholesale business was shifted to Bowenpally a sprawling of Secunderabad about 6 km from Secunderabad. The proposal to shift the retail market was dropped after traders opposed the move.[2]
