Techno Metals

Techno Metals is up on the first floor of Shankar Market in Hauz Qazi. Being at 4790/101 means you have to walk up some narrow stairs, but most of our regulars don't mind. Hauz Qazi is famous for its metal trade, and we are right in the thick of it. The market is always crowded with people carrying heavy loads and shouting to get through the narrow lanes. Our shop is packed with different metal sections, pipes, and other industrial supplies. It can get a bit hot and stuffy up on the first floor, especially in the summer, but we keep the fans going and just get on with our work. We spend a lot of time measuring things out and cutting pieces to size for whoever needs them. It’s a very traditional way of doing business here in Old Delhi. We don't have a big website or a sales team; we just rely on being here every day and knowing our stock well. Sometimes the market gets so busy that it is hard to move, but that’s just how Hauz Qazi is. We like being part of the Shankar Market community. We’ve been here long enough to know the other shopkeepers and how the trade flows. It’s a lot of manual work and long hours, but it is what we do and we are quite content with it.
