What is it?
Railway Shelters
Indian Railways operates the world's fourth-largest rail network — over 68,000 route kilometres, 7,000 stations, and more than 13 million passengers a day. Every metre of that network requires physical infrastructure: passenger waiting shelters on platforms, maintenance buildings at locomotive sheds and carriage depots, trackside cabins for signalling and telecommunications equipment, and level crossing gate lodges. Poojary Prefab supplies factory-built prefab shelters to this infrastructure — engineered to Indian Railways specifications, weather-rated for all climate zones, and delivered faster than any site-built alternative.
Our railway shelters are not generic porta cabins rebranded for railway use. They are purpose-designed prefab structures engineered to meet Indian Railways' published structural specifications for platform shelters, maintenance buildings, and trackside enclosures. Structural framing is designed to IS 800:2007 with IS 875 Part 3 wind loading for the relevant railway zone — from cyclone-exposed coastal lines to high-altitude mountain railways with snow loads. Cladding options include PPGI steel sheet, galvanised steel, and GFRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic) for coastal and high-corrosion environments.
We have supplied railway shelters to contractors working on Indian Railways electrification projects, station redevelopment programmes, new line construction, and metro rail projects. Every unit is factory-assembled and dispatched as a complete structural module, requiring only anchor bolt fixing and service connections on site — minimising track possession requirements and reducing installation time from days to hours. Delivery in 21–45 days from order confirmation.
Configurations
Which Type Do You Need?
Every site has different requirements. Here's how our range breaks down.
Platform Passenger Shelter
Covered waiting shelters for railway platforms — from simple lean-to canopy units to fully enclosed waiting rooms with seating, lighting, and signage provisions. Standard widths 3m–6m; custom lengths. Steel or GFRP roofing and cladding. Compatible with Indian Railways platform shelter specifications.
Trackside Equipment Shelter
Compact weatherproof enclosures for signalling relay interlocking panels, telecoms cabinets, power supply equipment, axle counters, and trackside instrumentation. IP54 minimum protection, anti-condensation provisions, forced ventilation, and security locking. Available in standard IR cabinet-room module sizes.
Maintenance Yard Building
Mid-span structures for locomotive shed maintenance support buildings, carriage washing facilities, staff welfare blocks, and tool stores. Wider spans 10–30m for maintenance access; EOT crane provisions available for heavy-lift maintenance support.
Level Crossing Lodge / Gate Cabin
Compact level crossing gate lodges and signalling cabins for manned level crossings — robust, weather-resistant structures with good visual sight lines, adequate working space, and statutory welfare provisions for gatekeepers. Designed to IR level crossing infrastructure specifications.
Key Benefits
Stronger by Design. Smarter by Choice.
All-Zone Weather Resistance
Designed to IS 875 Part 3 wind loading for all Indian climate zones — Very Severe Wind Zone for coastal railway lines, snow loading for mountain railways, and cyclone-exposure provisions for IR coastal corridors. GFRP cladding eliminates corrosion in sea-spray and tropical humid environments.
IR Specification Compatible
Platform shelter structures, trackside equipment cabins, and maintenance buildings are designed compatible with published Indian Railways and RDSO structural specifications. Documentation is provided in a format suitable for Railway Board and Divisional Engineer review and approval.
Track Possession-Free Installation
Railway infrastructure timelines are constrained by track possession windows — the brief shutdowns during which trackside work can be performed. Our factory-built shelters install by anchor bolt in hours, not days, minimising track possession requirements and the operational disruption to train services.
Seismic Compliant — All Zones
IS 1893:2016 seismic design for all Indian seismic zones, including Zone V applications for Northeast India mountain railways and the Himalayan rail corridor. Structural documentation provided for Railway Engineer review.

What Our Clients Say
Honestly didn't expect this level of finish on a PEB structure. The fabrication was clean, the erection crew knew what they were doing, and we were operational two weeks before our target date. Will definitely be coming back for our next shed.
We've used three different prefab vendors over the years. Poojary Prefab Pvt Ltd is the only one that gave us a fixed price and actually stuck to it. No surprises on the final invoice. That alone is worth everything.
The cold storage has been running at -22°C continuously for 18 months. Not a single structural complaint. Our FSSAI inspection went through without a hitch. Genuinely impressed.

We needed a 400-person labour camp set up before monsoon hit. Poojary Prefab Pvt Ltd's team worked through weekends to make it happen. The workers themselves said it was better than camps they'd seen on other sites.
I was sceptical about PEB for a pharma facility — clean room requirements are strict. Poojary Prefab Pvt Ltd walked us through every spec, made the necessary design changes without fuss, and delivered a building that cleared validation on the first pass.
What I appreciate most is that there's one number to call. No chasing multiple contractors. When a purlins alignment issue came up during erection, the site supervisor sorted it the same afternoon without escalating it into a big deal.

We've done three warehouses with Poojary Prefab Pvt Ltd across Maharashtra. Each one handed over on time, each one at the quoted price. That kind of consistency is rare in this industry.
The site office cabin they set up for us was ready in five days — AC, electrics, partitions, the works. We've had it for two years now and it still looks good. Build quality is solid.
I compared four vendors before going with Poojary Prefab Pvt Ltd. Their quote wasn't the cheapest but they were the only ones who could show me a completed project of similar scale nearby. That visit sold me.
