Ameerpet is a busy commercial area located in the north western part of Hyderabad, India.

Commercial activity first shifted here from the center of the city in the 1990's with the expansion of the northern suburbs of Hyderabad due to on going construction activity in the area and its surrounding areas. Today it's a bustling locality with several stores with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The area is prone to frequent traffic jams during rush hour.
