Both the Dutch and the English East India Companies attempted to control this city as it became the most important port on the Andhra coast. Qutb Shahi rulers of Golconda imposed royal monopolies on the sale of textiles, spices and other items in order to prevent the trade passing into the hands of various East India Companies.
This led to a fierce competition among various trading groups like the Golconda nobles, Persian merchants, Telugu, Komati, Chettis and European traders. As a result, the city became populous and prosperous.
