Durga Trading Co.

We are located down at Reay Road, right across from where the Britannia biscuits factory is. If you come over the bridge road to Darukhana, you'll see us at number 284/A. This is an old part of the city, very industrial and full of history. We deal in trading, mostly iron and steel and different kinds of hardware that builders and factories need. It's a dusty job, and the yard is usually packed with materials. We spend a lot of time weighing things and checking the quality of what comes in. The trucks are constantly moving in and out of the narrow lanes around here, so it gets quite loud during the day. We’ve been in this spot for a long time. My father started it and now we are still going. We don’t have a website that does anything fancy or a sales team in suits. We just talk to our customers face to face or over the phone. Most of them have been buying from us for years. We know the price of metal like the back of our hand. Sometimes the market goes up, sometimes it goes down, and we just have to deal with it. It's honest work and we like being part of the Darukhana community. There is always tea being passed around and plenty of talk about the local trade. It’s just how things are done here in this part of Mumbai.
