Safilguda is a residential suburb in Hyderabad, India. It comes under the Malkajgiri Municipality.
There is a lake popularly known as Safilguda Lake or Nadimi Cheruvu or mini tankbund.
The early settlers of Safilguda who came around the 60s-70s had a very tough time since this area was isolated with no means of transport to reach the city and no electricity.
In 70s people had to cycle 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 everywhere. Land cost around Rs5/-per sq ft.
