Geographically the city is located in the northern part of Deccan plateau, in Southern India on the banks of Musi River. As the days passed by, the city constantly experienced a penetrating population from the outskirts as well as from various parts of the state. The modern Hyderabad is spread over an area of 650 km2 (250 sq mi), making it one of the largest metros in India. According to the 2014 census, the population density of Hyderabad city is about 18,480/km2 (47,900/sq mi) and the population of the city is 6,809,970.
