KRISHAN BELCHA MFG. CO.

You can find us over by the Old Truck Union on Faizpura Road. It’s an area that’s always seen a lot of heavy vehicles and industrial activity. We specialize in making belchas, which are basically shovels, and other iron tools. The workshop is a loud place, with the sound of hammers hitting metal and the roar of the furnace. It’s hot work, especially during the summer months when the air feels thick. There’s soot on the walls and the floor is made of hard-packed earth and scrap metal. We’ve been manufacturing these tools for quite some time now, and we do it the old-fashioned way. We don't have a fancy showroom or a website with pretty pictures. People who need good tools know where to find us. We spend our days shaping iron and making sure every piece is sturdy enough for hard labor. It’s a messy job, and our hands are always stained with grease and carbon. Sometimes the supply of raw iron is short, or the machines need fixing, which slows us down. We just keep at it, though. There’s a certain rhythm to the work that we’ve gotten used to over the years. We’re just a small outfit on a busy road, making tools that people actually use for real work. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what we know how to do. Some days are tougher than others, but that is just part of the job.
