Balaji Steel Fabricator

Our workshop is tucked away in the B K Chaabra Compound. The specific address is B 1/3, near the Kulsumbai Ismail Chawl in Santacruz East. We are right on the Kalina Kurla Road, which is basically one long line of traffic most of the time. You can usually hear us before you see us because there is always some welding or cutting going on. We work with steel, making gates, grills, and window frames. It’s heavy work and our hands are usually covered in soot or grease. The compound has a lot of small businesses like ours, so it’s a very busy environment. We don't have a website or any of that. Most of our customers just walk in from the street or live in the nearby chawls. We’ve been at this location for a long time. People know they can bring a broken piece of metal here and we will fix it. The shop is full of scrap pieces and heavy tools. It’s not pretty to look at, but it’s where the work happens. We don't use fancy sales pitches. We just look at what you need, tell you how much steel it will take, and give you a price. It’s honest labor and it keeps the lights on. It gets very hot in the summer with the welding sparks but we are used to it by now. The tea guy comes by twice a day which helps a lot.
