Penna Cement Industries Ltd, Ganeshpahad

This branch of Penna Cement is tucked away in the PCIL Colony at Ganesh Pahad. B. Ravikumar handles things around here at B1/5. We are situated in the Damaracherla area of Nalgonda district, not too far from the Vadapalli post office. Life at the colony is pretty quiet except for the sound of the machinery and the transport lorries. We deal with a lot of heavy lifting and logistics every single day. It's a practical setup, meant for work rather than looking pretty for visitors. We have a routine that starts early in the morning before the sun gets too high. There's usually a lot of paperwork involving the shipments heading out across the district. We don't spend money on glossy brochures or big advertisements. Most people who need us already know where we are located. The dust is just part of the environment when you work with cement, so we’ve all gotten used to it. We keep our boots on and just get through the lists. Nalgonda can be a tough place to work in the summer, but the team here is used to the grind. It's a straightforward operation. We make sure the bags are stacked, the trucks are fueled, and the logs are signed. It’s just us doing our bit to keep the supply chain moving for the local construction needs. It's not a big deal, just a regular day of work for us.
