Prutha Steel

You can find Prutha Steel over at Plot 155 in the GIDC area, right across from the Nani Khodiar temple. Being in the GIDC means we are surrounded by all kinds of industries, but steel is what we know best. Our yard is usually full of steel beams, plates, and various sections waiting to be moved. The sound of metal clanging against metal is basically the soundtrack to our day. It is a tough environment and your clothes usually end up with a bit of rust or dust on them by the time you head home. The landmark of Nani Khodiar is helpful because people always know where to turn when they are looking for us. We spend a lot of time coordinating with drivers and making sure the loading is done safely. The sun beats down on the steel and makes the whole yard feel like an oven in the summer months. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning. We just have a small corner where we keep the paperwork and a place to sit. It is a busy life in the GIDC and there is always something that needs to be moved or organized. We just take it one load at a time. The local tea sellers come around twice a day and that is usually the highlight of the afternoon. We just stay focused on the steel and the work.
