History
editKothapet 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 the municipal corporation.[2] The merger of the village into the municipality was challenged subsequently in a petition to the Telangana High Court, but the challenge was quashed due to lack of merit.[3]
Economy
editKothapet houses one of largest fruit markets[4] in the state of Telangana, and is an upcoming real estate destination.[5] Owing to the congestion due to local businesses, it was proposed that the market in Gaddiannaram be shifted to Koheda.[6]
Transport
editThe locality is served by TSRTC bus stops and Chaitanyapuri Metro Station of the Hyderabad Metro Rail Red Line Corridor.[7]
Institutes
edit- Hamstech Institute of Fashion & Interior Design is located here.
