Farmers’ Market:
 The other smaller flange has been planned as farmers' market
or “Apni Mandi” as it is popularly known.
 After the grand success of weekly Apni Mandi in various

sectors of the city this component has been added in this modern
market.
 The farmers bring their produce directly to this place and sell it
to the consumers, thus eliminating the middle man.
 This model is beneficial both to the farmers and consumers.
Farmers’ Market:
 The Apni Mandi is fully covered from top but open on the
sides.
 It accommodates 234 raised platforms of 6'x8' size each.
 These platforms shall be allocated temporarily to the

famers to display their produce and sell it to the consumers
directly.
 These platform and 10 feet wide circulation arteries in

between have been planned in a Cartesian pattern for easy
movement.

Common Facilities:
 Sandwiched between
the Apni Mandi and Retail
Market is a partially double
storied block.
 It houses the common

facilities, like offices,
canteen, bank, police control
room, first-aid room etc.
 This block is easily

accessible from all the wings
of the market.
Pre-Engineered Steel Structure:
 The entire structure of the

market has been designed
in hi-tensile, pre-engineered
steel – popularly known as
PEB structure.
 Considering the large

covered area with huge
spans, this option was
considered most viable.
As is commonly known, PEB structure is:
 Latest material and technology in building construction.
 Being pre-engineered and pre-fabricated in factories–reduces construction time.
 Easy to erect and assemble at site.
 High precision is achieved in construction.
 Very versatile.
 Able to construct any shape and form, and large spans.
 Very durable and enduring.
 Can be reused and recycled.
 Very economical.
Cladding:
 The entire roof and partial
facades are clad in powder-
coated profiled steel sheets
which are maintenance free
and durable.
 The air-conditioned retail

market is covered from top
and sides by 100 mm thick
puffed panels.
 These panels are most

effective for thermal
insulation.
