Why Focus on Chandigarh?
Chandigarh is not only an administrative hub, but it also thrives as a center for industrial and artisan enterprises. Many kitchens, restaurants, hotels, and catering services in the tricity (Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula) demand efficient and durable tandoors. Local production helps in faster delivery, cost control, customization options, and better after-sales support. Over time, customers in the region prefer manufacturers who understand local climate conditions, fuel types, and cooking habits. That’s one advantage Durgadasstandoorwala brings to the table.
The Essence of a Good Tandoor
Before diving into specifics, let’s list key criteria by which any tandoor maker should be judged. These can also help you evaluate Durgadasstandoorwala’s offerings.
Heat retention & insulation — A tandoor must maintain high internal temperatures (often 300–500 °C or more) with minimal fuel.
Material quality — The body, lining, chimney, doors, and fittings should be made of durable, heat-resistant materials.
Uniform cooking performance — The appliance must deliver even heat distribution so that rotis, kebabs, and breads cook consistently.
Fuel flexibility & efficiency — Ability to run on wood, charcoal, gas, or even electric hybrid methods.
Ease of cleaning & maintenance — Removable parts, smooth interior and exterior surfaces, and accessible cleaning paths.
Customization & sizes — Restaurants may need large units, small mobile tandoors, or built-in designs.
After-sales support & parts — Spare parts, repairs, and servicing must be accessible.
Aesthetic design — For visible kitchens, a well finished tandoor adds visual appeal.
When you look at offerings by Durgadasstandoorwala, you will see how we hit each of these benchmarks.
Types of Tandoors: What You Can Choose
A modern manufacturer should offer multiple variants to suit different needs. At Durgadasstandoorwala, we provide:
Clay (Terracotta) Tandoors: Traditional, pure clay interior allowing authentic flavor. Best for smaller kitchens and moderate use.
Stainless Steel Tandoors: Outer shell in steel, inner clay liner or refractory material. Good durability and looks.
Gas / LPG Hybrid Tandoors: Using gas burners plus charcoal/wood backup. Quick ignition and better control.
Electric / Infrared Tandoors: Useful in indoor or residential setups where open flame isn’t permitted.
Drum-style / Barrel Tandoors: Cylindrical shapes, often used in street food or small scale use.
Built-in / Embedded Tandoors: Designed to be set into counters or walls, giving a clean look.
Each variant has trade-offs. For instance, pure clay gives the most authentic flavor but can crack if not handled well. Stainless steel adds strength but needs good insulation. Durgadasstandoorwala ensures every variant is engineered carefully for longevity and performance.
The Manufacturing Process at Durgadasstandoorwala
Here is a step-by-step outline of how we manufacture tandoors in our Chandigarh facility:
1. Design & Custom Requirements
We first consult with clients: kitchen size, cooking load, fuel preference, space constraints. Based on that, we design the shape, size, lining thickness, chimney layout, and bracket supports.
2. Material sourcing
We procure high-grade refractory clay, high temperature bricks, insulation materials (ceramic wool, firebricks), stainless steel sheets, mild steel frameworks, gas burners, and chimney pipes. Every batch is tested for quality.
3. Frame & Body fabrication
The outer shell or frame (steel) is shaped and welded. Support structure, access doors, flue paths, vents, and fittings are fabricated.
4. Inner lining & insulation
We lay firebricks or refractory clay inside, with controlled thickness. Insulation material is placed between inner liner and outer shell to reduce heat loss. This ensures strong heat retention.
5. Chimney & air supply system
We integrate chimneys, flue dampers, air inlets, and vents so that airflow is optimum for combustion of fuel.
6. Burner / heating element fitting
For gas or electric hybrid models, burners or heating coils are inserted, with proper sealing and safety checks.
7. Quality checks & trials
Every unit is tested: heat up cycle, smoke leakage tests, uniformity of interior heat, and durability under extended operation.
8. Surface finishing & branding
Outer body is polished, painted or coated (heat-resistant paint), handles and lids are fixed. We brand each unit as Durgadasstandoorwala with model numbers.
9. Packaging & delivery
Units are carefully packed (wood crates, padding) and delivered to buyer’s location. Installation and commissioning is offered.
Because all this is done under our oversight in Chandigarh, we ensure consistent quality and faster turnaround.

Challenges & Solutions in Tandoor Manufacturing
Running a tandoor manufacturing business in Chandigarh is not without hurdles. Below are key challenges and how we at Durgadasstandoorwala address them:
Material supply fluctuations: High quality refractory materials or insulation sometimes have variable availability. We maintain strategic stocks and multiple supplier links.
Cost pressure: Imported elements (burners, insulation) may cost in foreign currency. We mitigate with bulk purchases and efficient design to reduce waste.
Quality consistency: Ensuring every unit meets heat performance is challenging. We use temperature sensors, quality checks, and sample testing.
Skilled labor: Refractory artisans are niche. We train staff in house to master specialized lining and firing techniques.
Competition from low cost makers: Some local fabricators produce cheaper, lower quality tandoors. We emphasize performance, warranty, and support to justify our pricing.
Transport risks: Large tandoors are bulky and fragile. Packaging, shock absorption, and delivery planning are key.
Regulation & safety norms: Gas / electric units must meet safety standards. We ensure compliance with certifications and local codes.
By tackling these head on, Durgadasstandoorwala maintains a strong position in the Chandigarh and wider North India market.
