Indian Metals Pvt. Ltd.

Indian Metals is situated at 202 B Wing in Tarapur. This is an industrial zone, so everything around us is factories and warehouses. The building we are in is quite large and it’s made mostly of corrugated metal sheets. Inside, it’s often very loud because of the heavy machinery we use. We work with different types of metal, so there’s always the sound of cutting or grinding going on. The air feels a bit heavy and it smells like iron. We don’t have much in the way of an office; it’s just a partitioned area with a few chairs and a table that’s seen better days. The walls are stained with oil and grease, which is pretty standard for a place like this. Most of us wear overalls that get dirty within the first hour of the shift. We have a routine where we start early to beat the worst of the afternoon heat, but even then, the metal roof makes it feel like an oven sometimes. We take short breaks near the big sliding door where there’s a bit of a breeze. It’s hard, physical work and we don’t try to pretend it’s anything else. We focus on the orders we have to fulfill and the trucks that come to pick up the finished metal. It’s a simple, tough environment, but we’ve been doing this for years and we know the rhythm.
