Maruti Eng. Works

Maruti Eng. Works sits right across from the Umiya Weight Bridge in Odhav. Being in Ambicanagar means we’re surrounded by other workshops and industrial sheds, so there is always a lot of activity. We’re also near Appa Hotel, which is where we usually grab a quick lunch when things are too busy to go home. The shop floor is where we spend all our time. It’s not a polished place; there are heavy tools everywhere and the floor has seen better days, but it’s functional. We handle a lot of metal work and the noise from the weight bridge across the street is constant. You get used to the sound of heavy trucks idling nearby. We don’t do much in the way of paperwork unless it’s absolutely necessary. Most of our days are spent measuring, cutting, and welding. It’s hard work and it gets dusty, especially when the wind kicks up in Odhav. We don’t have a big team, just a few of us who know how to handle the machines. Sometimes the orders pile up and we stay late, working under the dim shop lights until the job is finished. It’s a straightforward way to make a living. We aren’t trying to be the biggest shop in town, just the one that gets the specific parts done right. If you come looking for us, look for the sign near the hotel and the weight bridge.
