Chikkadpally is a locality in the city of Hyderabad, India.
Chikkadpally is surrounded by Musheerabad, Ashok Nagar, Narayanguda and Bagh Lingampally.
According to locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from chikkad, meaning mud. And -pally (originally palle, పల్లె in Telugu) means place or hamlet. Since Chikkadpally is in a low-lying area, it is usually plagued by chikkad due to inflow of drain water.[1] According to some other locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from cheekatipally (place/hamlet of shadows).
TSRTC buses connect all major parts of the city, Chikkadpally included. The closest MMTS Train station is at Vidyanagar or Jamia Osmania. Secunderabad Railway Station is 6 kilometres away and the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is 25 kilometres away.
The Hyderabad Metro now runs through the area, with two stations in proximity.
