Article History

Mahbubnagar, city, southwestern Telangana state, southern India. It is situated on the Golconda plateau, about 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Hyderabad.

Mahbubnagar is on a main rail line between Hyderabad and Bengaluru (Bangalore) in Karnataka state to the south. It is also a road hub. Cotton ginning and pressing, as well as oilseed and rice milling, are the main industries. The city also has a college.

Mahbubnagar’s surrounding region is located on the Deccan plateau. Well-forested hills in the southeast yield teak, ebony, and gum arabic, while the largely sandy soils produce millet, oilseeds, and rice. It is said that the world-renowned Golconda diamonds (including the famous Koh-i-noor diamond) came from the region. Nearby industrial centres include Narayanpet (which produces silks and saris), Devarkonda, and Nagar Karnul. Pop. (2001) 130,986; (2011) 157,773.
