What TCR Eastern is
TCR Eastern is a branch of TCR Engineering, not a separate company, and its central hub for eastern India, serving cross-country pipeline radiography and ultrasonic work, advanced NDT, metallurgical consulting including failure analysis, Fitness-for-Service and remaining-life assessment, alongside destructive materials testing. The laboratory is run by Samir Choudhury, General Manager.
- Run by: Samir Choudhury, General Manager.
- Scope: cross-country pipeline radiography and ultrasonic work, advanced NDT, metallurgical consulting including failure analysis, Fitness-for-Service and remaining-life assessment, alongside destructive materials testing.
- Position: the third accredited TCR laboratory in India, after Mahape (NABLT0726MH18640) and Vadodara (TCR Advanced, NABL TC-6739).
- Who it serves: clients in Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand and the north-east, reaching the same scope, methods and report format without shipping samples across the country.
It is the third accredited TCR laboratory in India, after Mahape in Navi Mumbai (NABL NABLT0726MH18640) and Vadodara (TCR Advanced, NABL TC-6739). A client in Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand or the north-east reaches the same scope, the same methods and the same report format without shipping samples across the country.
Accreditation
The Bhubaneswar laboratory holds NABL accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under certificate TC-15993. The scope carries 409 items and the certificate is valid 30 April 2025 to 29 April 2029. Accreditation is site-specific: this certificate covers Bhubaneswar, and the Mahape scope (NABLT0726MH18640, 1,483 items) covers Navi Mumbai.

- Certificate and scope: NABL certificate TC-15993 and full scope, Bhubaneswar (PDF)
- ILAC MRA reciprocity, so a report issued here is accepted in over 90 economies without re-testing
Laboratory testing at Bhubaneswar
The mechanical testing laboratory at Bhubaneswar runs the destructive and analytical bench under the NABL scope. Every test follows an internationally recognised method and is reported against the standard it was run to.
- Physical and mechanical destructive testing, including tensile, hardness, impact and bend
- Chemical analysis of metals and alloys
- Corrosion studies
- Metallurgical evaluation and metallography
- Welder qualification testing, WPS and PQR, and certification of qualified welders
- Non-destructive testing, which is reported outside the Bhubaneswar NABL scope
Sample scope and method availability are governed by the NABL scope document linked above. Where a client needs a method outside the Bhubaneswar scope, the sample is run at Mahape under the Navi Mumbai accreditation and the report names the laboratory that performed it.
Pipeline radiography and field NDT
Cross-country pipeline radiography and ultrasonic testing are run out of Bhubaneswar, which is what the office was opened to serve. The field bench covers girth-weld radiography on pipeline spreads, advanced NDT, and the metallurgical follow-up when an indication has to be explained rather than just recorded.
- Core work: girth-weld radiography on pipeline spreads.
- Alongside: advanced NDT, and the metallurgical follow-up when an indication has to be explained rather than just recorded.
- Licence: radiography anywhere in India is carried out under TCR's AERB licence 23-IRLOP-893925.
Radiography anywhere in India is carried out under TCR's AERB licence (23-IRLOP-893925). The related capability pages are Pipeline Radiography, Pipeline RT Crawlers and Conventional NDT.
Offices and address
TCR Eastern operates from two addresses in Odisha. Paradip is a branch office and reports to Bhubaneswar; it is not a separate accredited laboratory.
| Office | Address | Role |
|---|---|---|
| TCR Eastern, Bhubaneswar | Plot 125/2094, Vishnu Vihar, Bhubaneswar 752 101, Odisha | Accredited laboratory (NABL TC-15993) and regional headquarters. Telephone: +91-6744602472, +91-9776704680. Email: odisha@tcreng.com |
| TCR Eastern-2, Paradip | Plot 831/29, Cuttack-Paradip Road, Jagatsinghapur 754 141, Odisha | Branch office, reporting to Bhubaneswar. Serves the Paradip port, refinery and petrochemical cluster. Telephone: +91-9348280626, +91-6744602472. |
Why Odisha
Odisha's steel and metals, mining, power and energy, ports and infrastructure, and heavy engineering and fabrication sectors are all expanding at once, and TCR Eastern puts an accredited laboratory and NDT crews inside the state.
- Growth sectors in the state: steel and metals, mining, power and energy, ports and infrastructure, and heavy engineering and fabrication, all expanding at once.
- Samples: tested in Odisha under the Bhubaneswar NABL scope, TC-15993, rather than sent to Mumbai.
- Field work: NDT crews and metallurgists based in the state, within reach of the plant.
Having the laboratory and the NDT crews in the state rather than in Mumbai means samples are tested in Odisha and the people who inspect the plant are based within reach of it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TCR Bhubaneswar laboratory NABL accredited?
Yes. The TCR Eastern laboratory at Bhubaneswar is accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under certificate TC-15993, covering 409 scope items, valid 30 April 2025 to 29 April 2029. Accreditation is site-specific, so this certificate covers Bhubaneswar; the Navi Mumbai laboratory holds its own certificate, NABLT0726MH18640.
What does TCR Eastern do besides laboratory testing?
TCR Eastern runs cross-country pipeline radiography and ultrasonic testing, advanced NDT, and metallurgical consulting including failure analysis, Fitness-for-Service and remaining-life assessment. The Bhubaneswar office was opened specifically as the hub for that field work in eastern India.
Where is the Paradip office and what does it do?
TCR Eastern-2 is at Plot 831/29, Cuttack-Paradip Road, Jagatsinghapur 754 141, Odisha. It is a branch office reporting to Bhubaneswar, serving the Paradip port, refinery and petrochemical cluster. It is not a separately accredited laboratory; samples requiring accredited test methods are run at Bhubaneswar or Navi Mumbai.
Which regions does TCR Eastern serve?
Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand and the north-eastern states, from the Bhubaneswar laboratory and the Paradip branch office. TCR also holds an office in Guwahati, Assam, for north-east field work.
Which tests are inside the Bhubaneswar NABL scope?
Certificate TC-15993 covers 409 scope items in three NABL disciplines: mechanical properties of metals (233 items), chemical testing of metals and alloys (112) and metallography (64), including corrosion and welded-specimen tests. A method outside that scope is run at Mahape under NABLT0726MH18640, and the report names the laboratory that performed it.
What is the address and telephone of the TCR NABL lab in Bhubaneswar?
TCR Eastern is at Plot 125/2094, Vishnu Vihar, Bhubaneswar 752 101, Odisha, telephone +91-6744602472 or +91-9776704680, email odisha@tcreng.com, open Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:30 and Saturday 09:00 to 13:00.
