28 Jan 2026 CW Team

TVS Emerald, a leading real estate developer, has announced an equity investment of Rs 4.25 billion from the International Finance Corporation, marking a major milestone in its expansion strategy.

Over the past five years, the company has significantly scaled its operations, expanding its residential development footprint fivefold and strengthening execution capabilities across the Chennai and Bengaluru markets.

The investment will be deployed to develop two residential projects scheduled for launch in FY27. These include the Pallavaram–Thoraipakkam Radial Road project in Chennai, with an investment of Rs 1.36 billion, and the Sathanur project in Bengaluru, with an investment of Rs 1.03 billion. The remaining capital will be allocated to additional residential projects planned over the next two years.

Together, the two projects represent a strong growth opportunity, with an estimated combined top-line potential of around Rs 44 billion. This includes approximately Rs 16 billion from the Sathanur project and Rs 28 billion from the Pallavaram–Thoraipakkam Radial Road project.

The partnership is seen as a key inflection point in TVS Emerald’s growth journey and reinforces its commitment to developing sustainable, high-quality residential projects aligned with global standards of governance and accountability.

Sriram Iyer, Director and Chief Executive Officer of TVS Emerald, said the partnership reflects confidence in the company’s long-term vision, execution capabilities and governance framework. He added that the investment will support measured expansion, disciplined capital deployment and the creation of residential communities that deliver long-term value for customers and stakeholders.

Imad N Fakhoury, Regional Division Director for South Asia at IFC, said the partnership demonstrates how sustainable housing for India’s middle-income families can generate strong commercial returns while creating social impact. He said the development of more than 4,500 apartments in Chennai and Bengaluru will bring high-quality, affordable housing closer to employment hubs, supporting economic growth and job creation across the value chain.

He added that the investment aligns with IFC’s broader approach to India’s housing sector, combining demand-side support through housing finance with supply-side investments in sustainable, market-driven developments.
