What ETA Engineering does

ETA Engineering Pvt. Ltd., incorporated in 1994 and headquartered in Chennai, India, is the Indian subsidiary of the UAE-based ETA ASCON - STAR GROUP conglomerate. The company operates two integrated business lines: turnkey MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) contracting services and HVAC equipment manufacturing. Its contracting arm delivers HVAC, electrical (EHV to ELV), plumbing, sanitary, and fire fighting systems on a SITC (Supply, Installation, Testing, Commissioning) basis, alongside BIM-enabled design coordination using Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and BIM 360 with LOD 100-500 deliverables. The manufacturing arm at Sriperumbudur near Chennai produces Eurovent-certified Air Handling Units, CE-certified ductable splits, floor/roof mounted package units, air cooled scroll chillers, and fan coil units, with on-site Eurovent-accredited psychometric testing labs. The company also offers BIM engineering services globally and post-installation O&M and IBMS managed services.

ETA generates revenue through four streams: project-based MEP contracting contracts (typically INR 0.5 Mn to INR 500 Mn, with specialized projects up to INR 5,000 Mn and average duration of ~1 year), HVAC equipment hardware sales (domestic and Middle East exports), BIM and digital engineering professional services, and O&M/IBMS managed services. The company maintains approximately 250 active contracts concurrently across India, supported by 10 regional offices and a contracting workforce of ~1,100 engineers. Its customer base spans enterprise segments including industrial manufacturing (Renault Nissan, Toyota, Samsung, Nokia, BYD), IT parks (TIDEL Park, Ascendas, Wipro, Intel), airports (MIAL, DIAL), metro rail (DMRC, CMRL), healthcare, hospitality, and commercial real estate. ETA holds multiple certifications (ISO 9001/2008, Eurovent, ARI, TUV Nord, UL, CE, IGBC) and is positioned as the third largest player in India's organized central air conditioning market with approximately 20% share.
