TVS Emerald is the real estate arm of the TVS Group, a conglomerate founded in 1911 by T V Sundaram Iyengar whose operating companies span automobiles, logistics, and financial services. The TVS Group was born in 1911, and the method and integrity of conducting business is what sets it apart. That same founding ethos — summarised internally as Trust, Value, and Service — informs how TVS Emerald approaches residential development: land-heavy, community-scaled, and built to hold. The developer carries a 115-year-old legacy and a name synonymous with trust.
TVS Emerald's residential portfolio spans Chennai and Bangalore. In Chennai it covers apartment communities near Porur, villa phases near Medavakkam's Nanmangalam Forest Reserve, and senior-living projects developed in partnership with Columbia Pacific Communities. In Bangalore, the developer opened its plotted segment with TVS Emerald Estate, its first plotted development project in Bangalore, launched in October 2023. That project — TVS Emerald The Estate — is a 32.3-acre plotted development located in Bagalur. It established a clear pattern: large land parcels on Bangalore's growth corridors, designed as self-contained gated communities with substantial green cover and a full amenity stack. TVS Plots Nandi Hills is the developer's next statement in that same plotted format, this time directed at the city's northern outer arc.
TVS Plots Nandi Hills is an upcoming plotted development project in Bangalore spread across 80 acres of land. That scale places it among the larger gated plot communities in north Bangalore's periphery, and it is significantly larger than The Estate at Bagalur. The 80-acre canvas gives the developer room to allocate meaningful open space — a design approach that has been consistent across TVS Emerald projects, where open area ratios have run at 62 percent or higher in earlier community launches.
The location is strategically placed on NH-44 and enjoys seamless connectivity to major areas including Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai via that highway. The Bangalore international airport is approximately 30 minutes away from the Nandi Hills plots site. For buyers who travel frequently or whose work anchors them near Kempegowda International Airport — the primary employment and logistics node driving north Bangalore's residential market — that proximity is a concrete, measurable advantage.
The project is currently in the pre-launch stage. Pricing, configuration details, and RERA registration are being finalised and will be published at launch. What is already defined is the format: a plotted layout that lets buyers design and build their own home rather than receiving a constructed unit — the same format TVS Emerald used successfully at Bagalur, where plots come with access to 50-plus unique amenities and the freedom to build on a ready canvas.
Nandi Hills, about 60 kilometres from Bangalore, is a popular hill station known for its natural beauty, historical significance, and ancient temples — a popular weekend destination for Bangalore residents year-round. That familiarity makes it easy to underestimate Nandi Hills as a permanent residential address. The more interesting story is how the zone around it — particularly along NH-44 toward Chikkaballapur — has shifted from pure tourism into a credible residential corridor.
Several forces are converging here. Plots just off NH-44 in this zone sit close to an upcoming ring road, giving them strong connectivity and future value potential. The corridor's proximity to the airport has drawn logistics parks and aerospace-related industrial investment northward along the same highway, generating demand for residential land from workers and investors who do not want to live within Bangalore's high-density inner ring. Nandi Hills and its immediate approaches sit at the intersection of that airport-linked demand and an older, stable base of buyers seeking low-density land in a cooler microclimate.
TVS Emerald's decision to enter this zone follows an established pattern in how the developer has selected Bangalore parcels: it has consistently chosen locations on the city's active growth edges rather than within already-saturated precincts. Bagalur was chosen for its proximity to the Sarjapur Metro and Peripheral Ring Road. TVS Emerald Altura is set in Sathanur, a part of North Bengaluru that is seeing steady interest for its connectivity. Nandi Hills continues that logic — it is a zone whose infrastructure story is still developing, which is precisely the point at which a large-format plotted community makes the strongest long-term argument.
Buyers evaluating TVS Plots Nandi Hills should look to The Estate at Bagalur as the closest reference point for what TVS Emerald delivers in a plotted format. That project offers luxury villa plots ranging from premium to palatial configurations, with over 50 amenities including multiple activity zones, a clubhouse, landscaped gardens, a gymnasium, an amphitheatre, outdoor sports courts, a children's play area, and 24/7 security. Sustainability features include rainwater harvesting, solar lighting, and extensive green spaces.
At Nandi Hills, the 80-acre footprint allows for a similar or broader amenity programme. Planned amenity types include well-laid internal roads, ample green spaces, recreational areas, children's play zones, a modern clubhouse, swimming pool, and spa, with an emphasis on greenery and open spaces that ensures residents enjoy a healthy and sustainable environment. Security infrastructure will include round-the-clock coverage with CCTV surveillance and trained security personnel.
The plot format itself is the defining feature. A plotted layout gives the buyer a freehold piece of land within a gated, managed community — the owner chooses the architect, the floor plan, the construction timeline, and the eventual scale of the home. That flexibility, within a framework of enforced community standards (setback rules, height limits, architectural guidelines), is what separates a curated plotted development from an open layout. TVS Emerald's track record at earlier communities, where the developer maintained both the plot infrastructure and the community amenities post-sale, is the institutional credibility behind that promise.
The area's connectivity rests primarily on NH-44 (the old NH-7, the Bangalore–Hyderabad National Highway), which links the Nandi Hills approach road directly to Devanahalli and the airport zone to its south, and to Chikkaballapur town to its north. Proximity to Kempegowda International Airport and upcoming metro stations means residents can expect improving connectivity to various parts of the city as infrastructure matures.
Social infrastructure in the broader Chikkaballapur district is functional rather than saturated. Chikkaballapur town, the district headquarters, has government and private hospitals, degree colleges, and daily retail. The Nandi Hills corridor itself has fewer services but benefits from the overspill of Devanahalli's growing social infrastructure — schools, hospitals, and commercial retail that have expanded to serve the airport zone's residential demand. As plotted communities at scale enter the corridor, supporting retail and services follow; TVS Emerald's 80-acre footprint is large enough to attract that cycle.
Buyers who want to understand the developer's commitment to Bangalore should note the breadth of its portfolio across the city. TVS Emerald launched TVS Emerald Cascadia in March 2025, marking its entry into the uber-luxury segment in Bangalore — a property designed by Perkins Eastman offering just 63 exclusive 3 and 4 BHK uber-luxury residences. Its maiden residential township in Bangalore is TVS Emerald Jardin, inspired by the Garden City, located in Singasandra near Basapura Lake — a neighbourhood offering top-rated education, healthcare, and good connectivity. TVS Emerald Isle of Trees is a residential development in Rachenahalli, spanning 2.71 acres.
Across these projects — from a 2.71-acre high-rise in Rachenahalli to an 80-acre plotted community at Nandi Hills — TVS Emerald has deliberately avoided concentrating in a single submarket. That geographic spread reflects both the scale of the TVS Group's balance sheet and a deliberate strategy of entering growth corridors before they reach peak pricing. Nandi Hills is the latest such bet.
