On further review, I think close to Jasminum angustifolium (L.) Willd. only.

to me it looks Jasminum sessiliflorum; reasons ;
leaves small2-3.5cm x 1.5-2cm;;ovate, obtuse at base,petiole short; nerves obscure, usu. pubescent on the back on nerves;  cymes usually 1-flowered; terminal; white, calyx lobes nearly 1cm long, corolla 5-8 lobes, long; fruit not seen here; as more characters match with Jasminum sessiliflorum I go with J.sessiliflorum.(ref.as per Gamble FPM; distribution in Chengalpattu, Kancheevaram are cited) 
thank you

originally i was a bit concerned that it may not be any known jasmine, because of those rounded leaves
but since then i have found  mentions of some others being confused with it also
Owner of Top tropicals for example

so i went back t o the keys
i like Lalithamba's reasoning and key depiction

thanks, Lalithamba

While looking for keys for the varieties, I was surprised with the following w.r.t. the calyx size:
Key to three varieties of J. angustifolium as per The taxonomic identity of Jasminum matthewii (Oleaceae) (2016)
1. Leaves recurved at margins; secondary veins distinct on both surfaces; domatia present at axils of veins beneath. Jasminum angustifolium var. hirsutum
1. Leaves not recurved at margins; secondary veins indistinct on both surfaces; domatia absent at axils of veins beneath. . 2
2. Venation distinct only on upper surface; inflorescence a cyme, (1–)3-flowered, sessile; calyx lobes 3–4 times longer than tube; fruiting calyx much longer than fruits. Jasminum angustifolium var. sessiliflorum
2. Venation obscure on both surfaces; inflorescence a cyme or corymb, (1–)4–7-flowered, pedunculate; calyx lobes almost equal to tube; fruiting calyx shorter than fruitsJasminum angustifolium var. angustifolium

This is in total contradiction to what I found in our observations as well as in An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India By K. M. Matthew (1993):
Calyx lobes > three- fourth the length of the corolla tube for Jasminum angustifolium var. angustifolium
Calyx lobes < half as long as the corolla tube for Jasminum angustifolium var. sessiliflorum

Does the Gamble gives any keys between the two ?
