Ashok Kumar
Co-Founder
Mining, crushing and whatever the quarry floor throws up that week. He signs off every plant commissioning himself, and is more often at a face than at a desk.
One crusher in Taranagar, then ten states
Twenty-six years of dispatch, 1.9 crore tonnes on the records, and a firm that rebuilt itself twice to get there.
01 / 05The story
A district trade that went national
Go back to 2000. In Churu district, Rajasthan, Ashok Kumar and Subhash Pachar were taking mining and crushing work around Taranagar, on district contracts, with a single plant between them. It read as local work, because that is what it was.
Ownership is what changed the trade. In 2008 the partners commissioned their own crusher plant in Barmer, and from that year the firm stopped billing for labour and started answering for output. Same two men, a different business.
Incorporation came in 2011, as Shri Krishan Construction India Pvt Ltd. Paperwork, and also the reason the firm could be listed at all: a procurement desk at a national contractor will not carry a proprietorship on its vendor master. Within a few years the crews were on highway and canal packages more than a thousand kilometres from home.
After that it was the same job at bigger tonnages. Patna to Buxar. Jhansi to Khajuraho. Deccan basalt on the Samruddhi Mahamarg, which is hard rock and eats jaw liners. Two packages in the Manipur hills meant moving plant and crew nearly the width of the country. Then Karnataka granite. Then four crusher plants inside three years.
Eight sites run at once now, across Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, on six owned plants and roughly 120,000 tonnes a month. The office that signs for all of it is still in Taranagar.
02 / 05How we run a job
Four things we will put in writing
- 01
The plant is ours
Excavators, tippers, drills, screens, the lot. Sitting on that much iron costs more than hiring would in a slow quarter. It is also why a date from us is a date, and not a hope that machines come free in season.
- 02
You get the mobilisation figure before you sign
Roughly a month where access is decent. Where it is not, you hear that at the survey, with the reason, instead of finding it out three weeks into a slipped programme.
- 03
Every load crosses a weighbridge
Ten calibrated bridges. What the bridge reads at dispatch is what the invoice says, and the docket rides with the tipper. Month-end reconciliation should be arithmetic, not a negotiation.
- 04
The safety officer outranks the schedule
Licensed shotfirers, cleared exclusion zones, vibration read on every shot. When he stops a face it stays stopped, and nobody on our side of the fence talks him out of it.
03 / 05Who runs it
The same two names, since 2000
Subhash Pachar
Co-Founder
Contracts, client accounts and moving plant between states. If a project manager wants a rate, a lead distance or a delivery date defended, this is the call.
04 / 05Vendor file
What your procurement desk needs
Registration, not price, is what stalls a new supplier. Ask for any document below and it leaves this office the same working day.
- Registered company
- Shri Krishan Construction India Pvt Ltd. Private limited since 2011, though the trade under these two partners goes back to 2000.
- Vendor documents
- GST, PAN, CIN and bank particulars go out on request, in whatever format your vendor portal asks for them.
- Work orders
- Purchase orders and completion certificates from closed packages, released for verification when you ask.
- Blasting
- Shots fired by licensed shotfirers under DGMS rules, with the permits and magazine records the site is asked to hold.
05 / 05Timeline
Twenty-six years, eight decisions that stuck
The work starts
2000Ashok Kumar and Subhash Pachar start mining, crushing and supplying aggregate from Taranagar in Churu district. A single plant. Work booked locally by word of mouth, nothing registered, no highway anywhere on the horizon.
The first owned plant
2008A crusher plant of the firm's own goes in at Barmer, Rajasthan. From here the business is answerable for tonnes produced, not hours worked. That changes what a customer can hold you to.
Shri Krishan Construction India Pvt Ltd
2011Incorporation as a private limited company, under the name still on the gate. The work does not change and neither do the owners. What changes is that a purchase department now has an entity it can raise an order against.
The first national packages
2016 – 2018Srisailam canal, then Patna to Buxar. Two states, neither of them Rajasthan, and the first time plant, crew, fuel and spares had to be kept running a thousand kilometres past the yard gate.
Expressway scale
2018 – 2020Bundelkhand, then Maharashtra. Deccan basalt is hard rock and it punishes a lazy blast design: get the powder factor wrong and you are breaking oversize by hammer for a week.
North-east and south
2020 – 2022Manipur in hill terrain, then Karnataka on granite. Between them the fleet crossed the country twice, and each mobilisation was costed before anyone agreed a rate.
Six plants
2022 – 2024Plants delivered at Banda, Prayagraj and Balaghat. Six owned crushers by now. Running a plant on the client's site, and standing behind what comes off it, becomes the main thing we sell.
Eight sites at once
2024 – 2026Eight packages in production at the same time. Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and roughly 120,000 tonnes a month leaving the plants between them. Holding that rate steady is the harder half.
