Ultratech Cement Limited, Hirmi Cement Works, Hirmi

This is the Hirmi Cement Works, located in the Raipur district of Chhattisgarh. Specifically, we are at B-24 in the Project Colony. Living and working in a colony like this is a bit different because your neighbors are also your coworkers. It makes for a very close-knit environment. We handle the operations for Ultratech Cement out here. The colony is a bit of a trek from the main city of Raipur, so we have everything we need right here. It is a place where you can hear the plant running in the distance most of the time. The office itself is functional and has been through many years of use. We deal with all the local issues and the daily grind of running a cement works. The dust is just something you get used to after a week or so. Our days start early and usually end with a lot of paperwork to file away. It is not a flashy place, just a lot of concrete and metal and hard work. We have a small garden area near the colony entrance that some of us try to look after, but the heat usually wins. We just keep our focus on the production and making sure the staff in the colony are sorted out. It is a practical life out here in Hirmi, focused on the cement and the community we have built together.
