Steel Buildings from India for Nepal Projects
PEB Supplier & Manufacturer for Kathmandu, Nepal
Pre-Engineered Warehouses, Storage Buildings and Commercial Steel Structures Fabricated in India
We are a steel building manufacturer based in Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab. Our engineering and fabrication happen in India; the finished structure is dispatched for assembly at your site in the Kathmandu Valley. Every frame is worked out against your plot size, the height you need inside and how the building will actually be used.
Design, fabrication and roofing sheet manufacturing under one facility — part of the Mahawar Group since 1990.

Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings for Kathmandu Valley Projects
Mahawar Prefab Solutions builds steel structures at a single plant in Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab. The town has been a steel processing centre for decades, which is the practical reason we sit there — coil, plate and sections are available locally, and we roll our own colour-coated roofing sheet on the same premises rather than buying it in.
The system we build is straightforward. Instead of casting concrete columns and beams on site, the frame is cut, welded and drilled in the factory. Column and rafter sections are built up from plate and tapered — deeper where the frame carries most load, shallower where it does not, so no steel sits idle. C and Z purlins span between frames to carry the sheeting. Everything arrives with a mark number, and it goes together with bolts.
Two things about that matter on a Kathmandu site. First, a steel frame weighs a fraction of an equivalent concrete one, and less mass means smaller forces to resolve when the ground moves — relevant in a valley that sits in an active seismic region. Second, a bolted kit needs almost no site fabrication. On a plot hemmed in by neighbours, with limited room to store material or run a cutting yard, that is a meaningful difference.
We supply storage and distribution buildings, workshops, cold storage shells, commercial halls and purpose-designed structures for projects across the valley. Details of our wider capability are on our pre-engineered building manufacturing page.

Why Steel Buildings Work for Kathmandu Valley Sites
Kathmandu is Nepal's largest consumer market, and most of what it consumes arrives from elsewhere and needs somewhere to sit before it is distributed. The valley's building problem is not span alone — it is doing useful volume on expensive, awkward, tightly bounded land.
01
Distribution & Urban Warehousing
Goods landed at the southern border move up to the valley for storage, breaking down and onward supply into the city. That work wants a clear floor — no internal columns dictating where a rack line or a loading bay can go. A portal frame gives you the full width to plan against.
02
Land-Efficient Building Footprints
Land in and around the valley is expensive, so the sensible move is upward rather than outward. Eave heights can be set higher to take stacking or racking, and a steel mezzanine can be designed in from the start to add a floor of office, storage or sorting area without extending the footprint.
03
Getting Material Into the Valley
Everything reaching Kathmandu by road comes up a hill route with real limits on vehicle length and manoeuvrability. Because our members are bolted rather than welded, long rafters can be split at designed splice points and sized to what your transporter can actually bring up — then joined on site to the erection drawing. It is worth settling this at design stage, not at the last bend.
What We Design and Fabricate
Nothing here is picked off a shelf. The span, the height, the bay spacing and the openings all come out of your drawing and your plot, and change the steel accordingly.
Industrial Warehouses
Open-floor storage buildings sized around your racking plan and the height you want to stack to.
Factory Buildings
Production and assembly space, with crane provision, tall bays or extra ventilation designed in where the process needs it.
Logistics Buildings
Transit and despatch sheds planned around how vehicles enter, turn and unload on a tight urban plot.
Industrial Sheds
Workshops, service bays, godowns and covered yard structures in whatever span the site allows.
Commercial Steel Buildings
Showrooms, service centres and halls where an open floor plate and a quick weathertight shell matter more than mass.
Custom PEB Structures
Irregular plots, multi-bay layouts, added mezzanine floors and anything that will not fit a standard rectangle.

Why Work With Us on a Kathmandu Project
Buying a building from another country only makes sense if the supplier owns every step that affects it. We draw it, we cut it, we sheet it and we send it — so when something needs changing, there is one team to change it, not four.

One plant in Mandi Gobindgarh, sitting inside a steel market that keeps our input supply short and predictable.
Engineering-Focused Solutions
The frame is analysed for your loads and your site before a single plate is cut. Nothing goes to the shop floor on assumption.
Custom Building Design
Mezzanines, awkward plot shapes, crane runs and splice positions for transport are decided on the drawing board.
Quality-Controlled Production
Material, fabrication checks and surface treatment are recorded as the job moves through the shop, not signed off at the end.
Export-Ready Supply
Members are marked and bundled against a bill of materials, so a consignment arriving in the valley can be checked off item by item.
Project-Based Support
One person to call about drawings, revisions, dispatch dates and anything the erection crew queries on site.
India → Kathmandu
Built in India. Delivered to the Kathmandu Valley.
To be clear about who we are: we do not fabricate in Nepal. The plant, the drawing office and the quality checks are all in Punjab, and what reaches your site is a finished building ready to bolt together.

How an Order Runs, Start to Finish
Five stages, in order, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
01
Requirement
We take your plot size, the width and height you need, what the building is for, and anything heavy it has to carry.
02
Engineering & Design
The frame is designed and detailed, then shop and erection drawings come to you for approval before anything is made.
03
Steel Fabrication
Columns, rafters, purlins and connection plates are cut, welded and painted to the approved drawings at our Punjab plant.
04
Quality Inspection
Sizes, welds, paint and mark numbers are checked against the drawing set before the consignment is released.
05
Loading & Dispatch
Member lengths are matched to what your vehicle can bring up to the valley, then bundled, documented and sent.
Roofing Sheets and Secondary Steel
A frame on its own is not a building. We roll the sheeting and form the purlins ourselves, so the envelope and the structure are made to the same drawing and arrive together instead of being chased from two suppliers.
MS Steel Structures
Fabricated mild steel members for platforms, supports and standalone structures.
C & Z Purlins
Roll-formed to the depth and gauge your roof and wall spans call for.
PPGI Roofing Sheets
Pre-painted galvanised sheet, profiled for roofing and side cladding.
PPGL Roofing Sheets
Aluminium-zinc coated base, chosen where the coating needs to last harder.
Colour Coated Roofing Sheets
Rolled at our own plant in a range of shades and thicknesses.
Work We Have Delivered
Every project shown here was built in India. We list them so you can judge the spans and building types we handle — not to suggest we have completed work in Nepal. The Leh job is the closest parallel to a valley delivery: a hill route, a seismic region and a long haul from the plant.

Questions We Get Asked
What buyers planning a steel building in the Kathmandu Valley usually want to know first.
What exactly is a pre-engineered building?
It is a steel building whose frame is made in a factory instead of on site. Columns and rafters are built up from plate and tapered so the depth follows the load, purlins span between the frames, and profiled sheets close it in. Each piece carries a mark number and goes together with bolts, so the site work is assembly rather than fabrication.
Are you based in Nepal?
No. Our plant, drawing office and quality team are all in Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab, India. We manufacture there and supply the finished structure for projects in Nepal. We do not have a fabrication yard or an office in the country.
Can you supply a steel building for a site in Kathmandu?
Yes. We supply warehouses, storage and distribution buildings, workshops, commercial halls and custom structures for sites across the Kathmandu Valley, including Lalitpur and Bhaktapur. The structure is designed and fabricated in India and dispatched to your site for erection.
Can a steel building take a mezzanine floor?
Yes, and on a valley plot it is often the sensible answer. A mezzanine is designed in from the start, with the frame sized for the extra load and the beam layout set around how you intend to use the upper level. Adding one later to a frame that was never designed for it is a different and more expensive exercise.
What do you need from me to quote?
Length, width and the clear height you need inside, what the building is for, the site location, and anything heavy it has to carry such as a crane or process equipment. A sketch or site plan helps. If you have not fixed the dimensions yet, send the plot size and we will work backwards from there.
How do long steel members reach the valley?
Road access into the Kathmandu Valley limits how long a vehicle can practically be. Because our frames are bolted, long rafters can be split at designed splice points and cut to lengths your transporter can actually manage, then joined on site to the erection drawing. We prefer to settle this during design rather than discover it at the loading bay.
Do you handle the roofing sheets as well?
Yes. We roll colour-coated PPGI and PPGL sheet in-house under our Datashyne brand and form C and Z purlins on the same premises. Structure and sheeting are therefore made against the same drawing set and dispatched together instead of being bought from separate suppliers.
What happens at the border, and who handles it?
We prepare the export documentation from the India side and coordinate dispatch with the transporter. Clearance on the Nepal side is normally arranged by your own clearing agent. It is worth confirming this split in writing when the order is placed so nobody assumes the other side is handling it.
Who erects the building on site?
Erection is normally done by your own contractor. We supply the full erection drawing set, marked members and a bill of materials so the crew can put it up to design, and we stay reachable for technical queries while the work is under way. If you want erection included in our scope, raise it at quotation stage.
