Inside the Entrance Canopy at IGI Airport, Terminal 2
A cantilevered tensile fabric canopy over the vehicle drop-off at Delhi's Terminal 2, and what it took to build one around a live airport frontage.
Last updated: 7 September 2026
Ekra Decor supplied a cantilevered tensile fabric canopy over the vehicle drop-off in front of Terminal 2 at Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi. The “Domestic Terminal 2” signage visible in Ekra Decor’s own site photograph is the clearest evidence tying this specific canopy to that terminal building.

What This Canopy Solves
Curbside weather cover
Shelters passengers and vehicles queuing at the terminal frontage from sun and monsoon rain.
Column-free at the kerb
A cantilevered frame keeps the canopy clear of the drop-off lane so cars and taxis can pull directly underneath.
Built around live operations
Installing an airport-frontage canopy has to work around continuous passenger and traffic flow.
How It Was Built
Ekra Decor is a turnkey manufacturer — the same team carries a project through all four stages, in-house.
- 01
3D design & form finding
Membrane geometry is developed in form-finding software so the fabric is correctly pre-stressed in double curvature.
- 02
Structural engineering
Steel frame, cables and foundations are engineered for the span, wind and loading conditions of the site.
- 03
In-house fabrication
Steel is fabricated and hot-dip galvanised or epoxy coated; the membrane is patterned and welded in-house.
- 04
Site installation
The frame is erected and the membrane tensioned on site by our own installation crews, then handed over.
