Microtek Forging

Working at Plot No. 39/40 on the Delhi-Jaipur Road means we deal with a lot of noise. Being right at the 40 Km stone near Narsinghpur keeps us busy. It’s a heavy industrial area. Forging is hot work. We spend most of our days near the machines. It’s not a quiet place. The trucks are always passing by on the highway. We’ve been here at Microtek Forging for a good stretch of time now. The metal gets loud when it’s being worked. We wear our gear and just get on with it. It’s hard labor, mostly. Our shirts get sweaty pretty fast. We have a small area for breaks where it’s a bit quieter. Sometimes the power cuts out and we have to wait. That's just how things go in Narsinghpur. We don't have a fancy lobby or anything like that. It’s a factory floor. We handle the orders as they come in. Some days are longer than others depending on the load. The heat from the furnaces is something you just get used to. We talk over the sound of the equipment. It’s a simple setup. We focus on the metal and the hammers. People driving on the Delhi-Jaipur Road probably don't notice us much, but we're here every day. It's a steady rhythm of work. We just keep at it until the shift ends. It gets monotonous sometimes, but the work needs to be finished before we can head home. It is a tough job but it is ours.
