Tata Projects Limited

The work we do takes us out to the Donimalai area, right near Narasapur Village in Bellary. It is a bit of a trek to get out here, but this is where the real action is for Tata Projects Limited. We spend a lot of time on the ground at the NMDC site. It is a rugged landscape, very red and dusty, which is typical for this part of the country. The heat can be intense during the afternoon, so we start early to beat the worst of it. Most of us stay close to the village or in the worker housing nearby. It is a different kind of life than being in the city. You get used to the sound of heavy machinery and the sight of large trucks moving across the horizon. We do not have a lot of frills out here. It is about getting the infrastructure built and making sure the site is running as it should. There is a lot of coordination between the different teams, but it is mostly done through quick conversations and checking blueprints in the field. Even though the company name is well known, our day-to-day work feels very local and connected to the land here in Bellary. We see the same faces every morning at the site gates. It is a tough environment, but there is a sense of accomplishment when you see something actually getting built from the ground up in the middle of nowhere.
