Gurugram-based modular construction brand wins order for a double-storey loft in the Punjab city – marking prefab’s arrival in one of North India’s most culturally significant markets

Gurugram, May 2026 – PodHome, India’s factory-built modular cabin and villa brand, has secured its first contract in Amritsar, Punjab – the city’s first confirmed prefabricated villa order. The project is a Mediterranean concept villa, a double-storey structure with a ground floor living room, kitchen, and bathroom, and a mezzanine bedroom connected by an internal steel staircase – fully built at client sit in 30 days.

The order marks PodHome’s entry into Punjab and signals the steady northward and westward spread of prefab adoption beyond its early strongholds in resort and farmhouse markets of South and West India.

A City Built on Quality – and Now Building Differently

Amritsar is not a city that settles for ordinary. Home to the Golden Temple, one of the most visited sites in the world, and a region defined by its prosperity, hospitality, and pride of ownership, it is exactly the kind of market where a premium, precision-built product finds its footing.

The Mediterranean villa commissioned here is anything but a temporary structure. At 720 sq ft across two levels – ground floor and mezzanine – it is a permanent, fully fitted residence. The structure uses a hot-dip galvanised steel frame, cement board exterior panels, 3mm SPC flooring on both levels, uPVC doors and windows, Jaquar bathroom fittings, a basic kitchen with cabinets, and a 1,000-litre Sintex overhead water tank with a fabricated MS base platform. It is built to the same specification as any PodHome Resort Grade unit – because that is the only specification PodHome builds to at this level.

The entire unit is fabricated at PodHome’s Greater Noida facility, approximately 350 kilometres from Amritsar – roughly a 7 to 8-hour flatbed transit – and placed by crane at the client’s site in a single day.

Why This Contract Matters

“Amritsar is a statement market,” said Divyam Agrawal, Director, PodHome. “When a buyer in this city chooses a factory-built double-storey loft over conventional construction, it says something about where prefab stands in India right now. This is not a compromise. This is a deliberate choice for quality, speed, and certainty.”

The Mediterranean villa format is one of PodHome’s most ambitious products – a double-height void over the living room, an industrial-finish steel staircase, and a mezzanine bedroom that sits above the main living space. It is crane-placed as a complete unit. No construction crew on site for months. No cost escalation mid-build. No contractor uncertainty.

For a buyer in Amritsar used to watching construction projects run late and over budget, the proposition is straightforward: a fully inspected, photo-documented, factory-complete structure delivered to your plot and placed in a day.

Punjab and the North India Opportunity

PodHome’s order book has historically skewed toward resort and Airbnb markets in South and West India – Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand. The Amritsar contract opens a different conversation: prefab as a primary residential and farmhouse choice in North India’s prosperous agricultural heartland.

Punjab’s farmhouse culture is well established. Large plots on the periphery of Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and Chandigarh are regularly developed as weekend retreats and family compounds. The standard approach – hire a contractor, wait eight months, manage cost overruns from a distance – is a pain point PodHome is positioned to solve directly.

With transit from Greater Noida reaching anywhere in Punjab in under 10 hours, and delivery timelines of 45 working days from order confirmation, PodHome can serve this market without a regional facility – and the Amritsar contract is the proof point that demand exists.
