History

According to locals, Kompally was named after Kohanuddin, who was the Jagirdhar of the village during the Nizam’s rule. During the course of time, Kohanuddin became popularly known as "KhomPally". [4]

Before the formation of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, it was a small village on the outskirts of Hyderabad with grape gardens, farm houses, horticulture and was flooded with poultry farms. Chekuri Suryanarayana Raju and late Byrraju Satyanarayana Raju started the Grape Gardens in the 1960s. [4] Satyanarayana was the father of Ramalinga Raju, the founder chairman of Satyam Group of Companies. The family and their related entities reportedly bought over 1,100 acres in four villages including Kompally as a part of the Satyam scandal. [5]

Mooga Manasulu, a 1964 Telugu film with Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Savithri as protagonists, was shot in a haunted building adjacent to the Fox Sagar Lake here. The building has been replaced by the Shiva Shivani institute now. [4]

Previously, National Highway 7 used to run by it, before it was merged with six other national highways to form the largest national highway in India, NH 44. [6] [7]
