Safilguda originally named as Safilgudem before (1970's) is a residential locality in Neredmet neighbourhood of Hyderabad city. It falls under Malkajgiri mandal in Medchal-Malkajgiri district of Indian state of Telangana. It formed Ward No. 137 of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation in 2009. Popular Safilguda lake or formally Nadimi Cheruvu is located here. The boundary road around the lake is fashioned like the Tank Bund on the Hussain Sagar Lake and hence is also referred to as Safilguda mini tankbund. This is a popular attraction for the locals for jogging and evening-walks. History
The early settlers of Safilgudem, who came around the 1960s/1970s, had a very tough time since this area was isolated with no means of transport to reach the city and no electricity. Gudem means "hamlet" or "village". In 1970s people had to bicycle around 6 km to reach the city unless they were able to get the occasional bus. There were only two or three houses and barren land and rock was everywhere. Land cost around  per sq ft. Earlier it was a hamlet called  Safilgudem and then it became a small town in Old Neredmet Village. Subregions of Safilguda
