Hindalco Industries Ltd, Unit: Birlacopper, Dahej

We are over here in Dahej at the Birlacopper unit. It is a busy place with lots of trucks coming in and out every day. Most of us have been here for quite some time now. Our office setup is actually at Puwar R R’s place, right behind the GEB office in Bharuch. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the main plant site, but we are used to it. The weather gets really hot in the summer, especially with the furnaces going. We deal with a lot of copper work here. It's not fancy stuff. Just hard work and making sure everything moves along. Sometimes the dust gets everywhere. We share lunch and talk about the local news or what's happening in Rachnagernager. It's a tight group of people. Most of the guys living around here work in the industries too. You see the same faces at the tea stalls. We don't have a big corporate lobby or anything like that. It is just a practical workspace where we get things done. Dealing with the paperwork and the logistics takes up most of the morning. Then it's about checking on the shifts. It is steady work. We keep things running as best as we can. It’s a loud place, but you get used to the noise after a few weeks. That is just how it is around the Dahej industrial zone.
