The number of casualties are expected to go up as there are still many seriously injured. All the metro cities in India have reportedly been put on high alert.
Hyderabad was last rocked by serial bomb blasts in 2007 in which 42 people were killed.
According to sources in the Indian Home Ministry, the explosions appears to have been striked by "a well-trained" group which timed the explosions to cause the maximum damage.
Reportedly, the CM of Andhra Pradesh has called a emergency meeting and the home minister is on the way to the blast's spot.
