Project Overview
from Ekra Decor’s
project records
Ekra Decor built this tensile structure for Minda Projects Ltd, separate from the “Minda Gentex Ltd” entry covered elsewhere on this site. Minda Corporation Limited and Minda Industries Limited (Uno Minda) are both large Indian automotive-components manufacturers with several Delhi-NCR facilities, in Noida and at IMT Manesar respectively.
At about 610 m² the structure is a compact, single-purpose canopy — a covered dock, staging area, assembly point or link between buildings on the plant.
The structure covers about 610 m² and was built in roughly 35 days.

A second Minda-group entry
Recorded separately from Minda Gentex, with its own area and programme.
Compact plant canopy
About 610 m² — a dock, staging bay or covered link, not a large roof.
Fast delivery
Survey to handover in about 35 days.
Column-light span
Support kept to the edges so handling and traffic underneath stay clear.
Delhi-NCR climate
Designed for the region’s summer heat and monsoon.

The Brief
A single covered task on a plant
Most plant canopies exist to solve one problem well — keep a loading dock dry, shade a staging area, cover a walk between two buildings. A structure of about 610 m² is scaled to that kind of specific job rather than to roofing a whole yard.
Ekra Decor delivered it as a complete job: survey, 3D structural and membrane design, fabrication of the galvanised steel frame and the membrane, and installation and tensioning, over about 610 m² in roughly 35 days.
Design & Engineering
A compact canopy, fully engineered
The structure is light at this scale, but the design process is the same as for a large roof. The membrane is form-found so it holds double curvature and stays taut, carried on a slim galvanised steel frame with the columns positioned clear of the vehicle, forklift or pedestrian movement it covers.
Wind uplift is the governing load on a small, low canopy. Ekra Decor designs the steelwork to IS 800, checks the structure for wind to the applicable Indian codes, and sizes the foundations for uplift and overturning. The hot-dip-galvanised frame and the coated membrane are specified for a long service life in an industrial setting.
Fabrication & Installation
Prefabricated, installed in weeks
The frame is welded and hot-dip galvanised in the workshop and the membrane is cut and welded to pattern off-site, so on-site work is erection only: cast the foundations, stand the frame, tension the membrane.
On an operational plant the work is fenced and timed around production and traffic, and the area is handed back as a finished, tensioned structure in about 35 days.
The Result
A specific problem, covered
The plant gained a compact canopy that takes the weather out of one working area — a dock, a staging bay or a link — delivered quickly and without stopping work. Upkeep is limited to cleaning and periodic checks.
Ekra Decor builds industrial canopies and covered walkways for automotive and manufacturing plants. See the related Minda Gentex and Minda parking canopy projects, or more work on the projects page.

Common Questions
About this project & building something similar
Delhi NCR.
610 m², per Ekra Decor's project records.
≈35 days from start to finish, per Ekra Decor's project records — in line with the standard 10 to 15 day fabrication and 3 to 7 day on-site installation timeline used across most projects.

Yes — 5 photographs from Ekra Decor's own project archive appear in the gallery above, not a stock or illustrative image.
Yes — every project starts with a site survey and a custom 3D design tailored to your space, not a fixed template. Get in touch to discuss a similar structure for your own site.
The choice depends on span, climate and intended lifespan. PVC-coated polyester is the most cost-effective option, with a 10–15 year service life. PVDF-coated polyester adds a self-cleaning top layer and pushes that to 15–20 years. PTFE-coated fibreglass is a permanent, non-combustible membrane with a life measured in decades, and ETFE film is used where an ultra-light, highly transparent roof is needed.
Yes. Wind, rain and — where relevant — snow and seismic loads are analysed to the applicable IS codes, and the steelwork is designed to IS 800. The membrane is form-found so its stresses stay balanced in double curvature, and the foundations are sized against uplift and overturning rather than gravity alone — the governing case for a lightweight tensile roof.
A one-year written warranty on the structure and workmanship, and a membrane warranty of 5 to 15 years depending on the fabric grade, plus as-built drawings, original mill certificates for the membrane and steel, a structural stability certificate and an operation & maintenance manual on handover. An annual maintenance contract covering inspection and re-tensioning is optional.
Very little — a periodic wash to remove surface dirt, and an annual check of cable tension and bolt torque. PVDF and PTFE membranes are largely self-cleaning, so rain keeps them looking new. We can carry this out under an annual maintenance contract if you prefer.
