Balaji Alluminium

Balaji Alluminium is set up on Nainital Road in Haldwani, right across from the Eye Hospital. You can usually hear us before you see us because of the sound of metal being moved around. The shop is full of all sorts of aluminium pieces and tools scattered on the floor. It’s a bit messy sometimes, but that’s just how it is when you’re working with these materials all day. The road outside is always loud with cars going up toward the hills. We spend a lot of our time measuring things and cutting them down to size for various projects. The sun hits the front of the shop pretty hard in the morning, making the metal shine. We have a few guys here who know their way around the saws and drills. It’s hard work and our hands usually have some grease on them by the time we close up. People often stop by because they saw us while going to the hospital across the street. We don’t have a fancy showroom, just the workshop where everything happens. There’s a small desk in the corner for the paperwork, but it’s mostly covered in dust from the cutting. We just try to get the orders done so they can be picked up. It’s a basic operation but it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday. Sometimes we have to move stuff out to the sidewalk to make room inside.
