Infrastructure & Elite Crowd

Thanjavur City well connected by Roads and Rails between the near by Tier-II cities of Tamil Nadu. 3 Nation Highways connecting Kumbakonam, Mayilladurdurai, Sirkazhi, Karaikal, Nagapattinam, Mannargudi, Tiruvarur, Thiruthuraipoondi, to Madurai, Trichirapalli and Coimbatore.

The City with Elite group of Population comprises of Doctors, Educationalists, Officials, Politicians and Heritage Tourists giving more Cult status, which is not in other Tier-III cities of Tamil Nadu. This Crowd can easily Adopt& Accept new Economy Developments.


Huge Landscape Area on 4 lane National Highway between Thanjavur to Tiruchirapalli is one of the ideal location for developing Satellite city with IT infrastructure between Thanjavur and Trichy Cities.

There are 3 Technical Universities and one NIT Trichy, a Management Institute(Gnanam Business School) in this Locality. This Large area of land is unusable for cultivation. Thanjavur City is unlike Trichy which is already congested with variety of population. Thanjavur is having great scope for accommodating population growth due to IT Infrastructure developments.
