Lafarge India Ltd

Our location is out at the Sonadih plant, specifically at C1-3. It’s accessed via Baloda Bazaar, and the post office is Raseda. It’s right in the middle of the Raipur district in Chhattisgarh. This is one of those places where you really feel the scale of the cement business. We live and work in these quarters. It’s a very specific kind of lifestyle. You wake up, walk a short distance, and you’re at the site. The address is 493332, which covers a big area of this industrial belt. We don’t have much in the way of shops or entertainment right next door. You have to head into Baloda Bazaar for the bigger stuff. The office itself is quite plain. We have a few computers, some old filing cabinets, and a lot of logbooks. It’s not meant to be a place for meetings with clients. It’s where the actual coordination happens. The walls are painted a simple color that doesn't show the dust too much. We drink a lot of tea and talk about the day's targets. It’s a tight-knit group because we’re out here together. You don’t get a lot of random people wandering by. It’s mostly just the staff and the transport guys. It’s a simple, functional existence in a very busy industrial zone. We’ve been at this spot for quite a long time now. We don't mind the quiet nights when the shift change isn't happening.
