Electrosteel Castings Limited

At 4, Ram Kumar Ganguly Lane in Howrah, Electrosteel Castings Limited has been operating for quite some time. Howrah is famous for this kind of work, and we fit right in. The lane is narrow, so you have to be careful when the lorries are backing in. It’s a tight fit, but we’ve done it a thousand times. The workshop is full of the smell of hot metal and grease. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s what we know. We have the furnaces running most of the day. The workers are skilled at making the molds and ensuring the casting comes out clean. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. The work speaks for itself when the pipes are loaded onto the trucks. Sometimes we sit out on the steps during the rain just to catch a breeze. The pin code is 711103 if you're looking on a map. We have a small yard where we stack the finished products. It’s a bit of a jumble sometimes, but we know where everything is. We don't use fancy software to track things, just a big chalkboard and some notebooks. It works for us. Everyone here has a job to do, and we just get on with it. It’s a bit of a grind, but there’s a sense of pride when a big order is finished.
