Bhilai Steel Plant (Sail)

Our place is at Block No. 5 D in the Russian Complex over in Sector 7. Bhilai Steel Plant (Sail) has a long history here, and this complex is a big part of that. The buildings have a specific look to them that reminds you of the old days when the plant was first being built with help from outside. It’s a sturdy place. Living and working around here means you’re part of a specific community in Bhilai. We aren't really into marketing ourselves. We just do the work that needs doing. The Russian Complex is a bit famous locally, but for us, it’s just where we are. We see the same neighbors every day, most of them working some kind of job at the plant. The heat in Chhattisgarh is something you just live with. Inside the plant, it’s even hotter. We spend our shifts making sure the quality is fine and the machines are running. Sector 7 is a good spot, fairly central to everything else. We don’t have much time for fancy talk. If you come by, you’ll see people in their uniforms heading to work or coming back tired. It’s a practical life. We keep our space clean and we look out for each other. That’s how it works when you’ve been in the steel business as long as we have. It’s about the community and the metal.
