Shankar Body Builders

We are located over by the New Chungi Naka near Ajmeri Gate. It’s a loud place because we’re always working with metal and tools. At Shankar Body Builders, we spend our time putting together the frames and bodies for trucks and other vehicles. There’s always the sound of welding or hammering going on throughout the day. The ground is usually covered in metal scraps and dust, but that’s how a real workshop should be. We aren’t wearing suits here; we’re in our work clothes getting our hands dirty and oily. Most of us have been doing this for years, so we know how to make a frame that won't fall apart on these bumpy local roads. It’s hard work, especially when it gets really hot in the summer, but we just keep at it until the job is done. People bring their chassis to us and we build what they need on top of it. We don’t have a fancy waiting room or anything. Usually, people just stand around and watch us work for a bit or grab a tea at the stall nearby. It’s a practical business. We focus on the strength of the build rather than how shiny it looks at the end. We’ve been at this spot for a long time and the neighborhood knows us for the noise we make and the trucks we finish for the drivers who depend on them.
