Muddar Engineering Works

Our workshop is located at F-85 in Phase 2 of the Mayapuri Industrial Area. If you have ever been to Mayapuri, you know it is one of the busiest places for engineering and scrap in all of Delhi. The streets are always narrow and filled with trucks and rickshaws moving heavy loads of iron. Our place is right in the thick of it. We have a lot of heavy machinery and the sound of hammers hitting metal is something you just get used to. It is a very hands-on type of business. We don’t sit behind desks much; usually, we are out on the floor with dirt on our hands. The office is just a tiny room in the corner where we keep the ledger and the phone. We’ve been in this part of Mayapuri for a long time and we know how the local market works. It isn't a clean or quiet place to work, but it has its own rhythm. We take a break when the power goes out, which happens sometimes, and sit outside on the stools. There is a lot of dust and the smell of welding in the air, but that is just how engineering works in this part of town. We don’t have any fancy brochures or a mission statement. We just show up, take the jobs that come in, and try to get them done by the time the sun goes down.
