Rohaliwal Engineering Industries

If you come down to 6 Sodala Kailash Puri, you’ll hear us before you see us. Rohaliwal Engineering Industries is right on New Sanganer Road, which is always packed with vehicles and people rushing somewhere. Our shop is full of heavy machinery and the smell of grease and burnt metal. It’s a loud place, but you get used to the clanging after a few weeks. We spend a lot of time bent over machines, checking parts and making sure the measurements are correct. There is no air conditioning here, just the big open shutters that let in the breeze and the road dust. We keep our tools on big metal racks, and half the time we’re searching for a specific wrench that someone didn't put back. It is hard work and your back usually aches by five o'clock. Most of the guys here have been working together for a long time, so we don't need to say much to get the job done. We just show up, get the machines running, and handle whatever repairs or fabrication comes our way. Sometimes a customer brings in something totally broken and we have to figure out how to piece it back together. It isn't a clean job, and our clothes are always marked with oil, but it’s what we do. The New Sanganer Road traffic never seems to stop, even when we are locking up for the night.
