Abids is a major commercial center in Hyderabad, India. Abids is well known as the oldest and most famous business area in Hyderabad. The state government building (TSFC), and the President Plaza, Badshah palace are located here. Unlike most markets which are known for specializing in a certain trade, a variety of businesses are located here. This area's importance has increased because of its close proximity to Nampally Railway Station.
It is surrounded by Basheerbagh to the north, Nampally to the west via Chapel Road, Koti to the East, and Chaderghat to the south, via the Bank Street. It falls under Nampally constituency.
