Alfa Engineering Works

Our workshop is tucked away in the Munshi Compound over at Shalimar Chs Ltd. If you know the Kashimira area, you know it can get pretty crowded. We’ve been operating out of Mira Road East for a good number of years. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze in the unit sometimes, especially when we have several engineering jobs going on at once. We usually have the machines running from early morning. It’s noisy, but it’s the sound of work getting done. We don’t have a big reception area or shiny signs. Most people just walk in through the main gate of the compound to find us. We handle a lot of metalwork and repair jobs that local shops bring in. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, which slows things down, but we just pick it up when it comes back on. The crew here is small, just a few of us who’ve known each other a long time. We mostly talk about the technical side of things over tea. It’s a straightforward setup. We take the measurements, do the cutting or welding, and try to stay organized despite all the scraps lying around. It isn't glamorous. We just like making things fit right. If a job is tricky, we spend a bit more time figuring it out on the bench. That’s just how it goes for us at the shop.
