Is it because, the directory is having 700 ?
Yes...

Is there a way to accomplish the need?
Not sure I understood all requirement, but I will give an example I do for a dept here:
Statisticians in groupA should be able to execute and modify files of statisticians in GroupB but they are should not see what is in DirB of groupB except the files they know of
I use a common directory DirC, put the executables and files in that directory with 664perms for the data files group owner GroupB, 755 for the executables and and 711 perms for DirC with a statistician of GroupB as owner and responsible for content of this directory...
The use of 711 on directory makes its content unreadable except for the owner, but if you know what is there e.g. a. executable like a script and you have the right to execute or modify, you can do so, but you have no ways to see what else is in that directory...
(just in case I was not clear, The GID of the files in this directory are set to GroupB)

NAME
shtool-mkdir - GNU shtool mkdir(1) style command SYNOPSIS
shtool mkdir [-t|--trace] [-f|--force] [-p|--parents] [-m|--mode mode] [-o|--owner owner] [-g|--group group] dir [dir ...] DESCRIPTION
This is a mkdir(1) style command with additional options and the ability to be smart if the directory already exists which is important for installation procedures. OPTIONS
The following command line options are available. -t, --trace Shows the actually involved shell commands. -f, --force Forced continuation and no complaints if directory already exists. Default is to terminate with error. -p, --parents Automatic parent directory creation. Default is to only create the last directory in the path and fail if parents are missing. -m, --mode mode The directory mode applied to the directory, see chmod(1). Omitting mode skips this step and leaves the operating system default which is usually based on umask(1). Some directory modes require superuser privileges to be set. Default is to stick with operating system defaults. -o, --owner owner The directory owner name or id applied to the directory, see chown(1). This option requires superuser privileges to execute. Default is to skip this step and leave the operating system default which is usually based on the executing uid or the parent setuid directory. -g, --group group The directory group name or id applied to the directory, see chgrp(1). This option requires superuser privileges to execute to the fullest extend, otherwise the choice of group is limited on most operating systems. Default is to skip this step and leave the operating system default which is usually based on the executing gid or the parent setgid directory. EXAMPLE
# Makefile install: shtool mkdir -f -p -m 755 $(bindir) shtool mkdir -f -p -m 755 $(mandir)/man1 : HISTORY
The GNU shtool mkdir command was originally written for Public Domain by Noah Friedman and later revised by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for inclusion into GNU shtool. SEE ALSO
shtool(1), mkdir(1). 18-Jul-2008 shtool 2.0.8 SHTOOL-MKDIR.TMP(1)
