Crushed by the Machine
BY THE TIME Amjad Khan turned 18, he had already lost his right hand. Employed at an auto-component factory in Faridabad, Haryana, Amjad was one of the thousands of workers maimed or killed in India's booming automotive manufacturing sector in 2024.
Raju Sharma, 32, lost four fingers while operating a power press at a leading original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand.
In Pune, 44-year-old Umesh Dhake died when a robotic unit collapsed on him due to a sensor malfunction at an auto-component factory.
Raju Amrawati, 35, lost all five fingers in a similar press machine incident in Bengaluru.
In Chennai, junior engineer Vinoth Raj, 35, succumbed to injuries from a factory accident.
According to data compiled by the Safe in India Foundation (SII), over 2,333 workers have suffered crushed finger injuries while working on machines that manufacture auto and auto components for India's top ten automotive brands. The trend is only worsening: 875 workers lost fingers in 2024, up from 759 in 2023 and 699 in 2022.
