As part of the acquisition, G Square Group has announced the name of the project as G Square Temple View Square (TVS), a premium plotted development in Periyar, Madurai, with the project name reflecting the historical association of the land with Mr. T.

My very first commercial land deal was with the TVS Company in 2011, and to now be entrusted with a property of such historical importance, one that was part of T. V. Sundaram Iyengar’s original landholdings in Madurai, is both humbling and a testament to the trust and enduring relationship we’ve built over the years. It reflects TVS Group’s confidence in G Square’s ability to handle legacy assets with responsibility and vision. G Square Temple View Square represents our commitment to making home ownership accessible and meaningful for Madurai’s growing middle class. Plotted development is often the first gateway for families to invest in their dream home, offering flexibility and long-term value. This project is especially significant because it transitions a century-old legacy landholding into a modern residential and commercial plotted community while preserving its deep cultural context and connection to Madurai’s industrial heritage. Our focus has been to honour this history while creating lasting value for homebuyers and the city alike.”
