In a world driven by quality, compliance, and speed to market, Third Party Inspection (TPI) is no longer optional—it is an essential component of industrial success. As India rises to become a global manufacturing hub under the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives, one critical gap still looms: independent, indigenous, and trustworthy inspection services that ensure our products stand toe-to-toe with global competition.

Enter TCR Engineering, based in India—a company with the legacy, infrastructure, and global mindset to lead India’s transformation in quality assurance. Whether you're a global buyer sourcing from India or an Indian EPC contractor building critical infrastructure, ensuring the quality of materials and workmanship is non-negotiable.


Third Party Inspection ensures:

  • Independent verification of material quality and compliance

  • Early detection of defects during manufacturing and fabrication

  • Reliable data for informed project decisions

  • Reduced risk of rework, penalties, and non-compliance

  • Better vendor accountability and streamlined supply chains


For Indian Companies:

TPI provides peace of mind that “What is specified is what is delivered.”


For Global Buyers:

Appointing a locally present Indian TPI agency like TCR Engineering reduces travel costs, delays, and allows round-the-clock oversight. India’s TPI industry is fragmented. Most major projects today are audited by either:

  • Multinational TPI giants (with high costs and limited localization)

  • Small, unaccredited local players (often lacking in rigor and scale)

  • Freelance inspectors with limited coverage and accountability

This is where TCR Engineering becomes crucial.

With ISO 17025, NABL, BIS, and ISO 9001 accreditations, and deep bench strength of qualified inspectors (ASNT Level II & III, AWS-CWI, API-certified), TCR Engineering is the only India-rooted player with global recognition and multi-sector expertise.

Bridging the Gap: From “Make in India” to “Proudly Made in India

India's vision for 2047 demands that we not only manufacture but manufacture with integrity. A true "Make in India" success story will only be realized when:

  • Indian components are trusted globally

  • Indian vendors are certified by Indian inspectors

  • Indian TPI agencies ensure no material leaves the country without rigorous quality validation

TCR Engineering is strategically positioned to be this national enabler.

For Indian and International Clients: Why Appointing a TPI in India Matters

Whether you're buying from India or building in India, appointing a TPI like TCR Engineering ensures:

  • Stamp Transfer Oversight – Ensuring traceability and correctness of selected materials for testing.

  • Witness Testing – Ensuring sampling integrity, test parameter accuracy, and method validation.

  • Material Compliance – Validating that all deliveries match contract specs and codes (ASTM, ASME, EN, ISO, BIS).

  • Container Loading Supervision – Avoiding damage, mismatches, and shipment delays.

  • Real-time reporting – Remote access to test results and progress updates without stepping foot on site.

Addressing Conflict of Interest Concerns: Independence Guaranteed

TCR Engineering operates two arms—Inspection and Testing—but both are structurally, operationally, and ethically independent.

When TCR Engineering inspects and then tests a material in its NABL-accredited lab:

  • The Inspector does not influence the Test Results.

  • All laboratory reports are governed by ISO 17025 protocols, ensuring full transparency, traceability, and auditability.

  • Clients can choose to send the samples to any lab of their preference—TCR’s own lab is an added convenience, not a compulsion.

Independence is hardwired into our ethics and operations.

Beyond Testing. Beyond Inspection. TCR Engineering is Your Eyes and Ears in India.

TCR Engineering’s model is built to provide:

  • Factory audits

  • OEM development assistance

  • Sample picking and sealing

  • Production-stage inspections (IPC, DUPRO, PSI)

  • Expediting and vendor management

  • Reverse engineering and engineering consulting

With deep project experience across Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, and over 5000+ clients, TCR Engineering delivers global reliability at Indian cost structures.


Here’s to the ones who inspect what others assume.

To the few who believe that trust is built through evidence, not estimates.

To the bold companies that want their materials validated, their projects secured, and their reputations protected.


India doesn’t just need to build. It needs to build right.

And that means partnering with a TPI agency that’s local, ethical, competent—and committed to the country’s rise.


🟦 TCR Engineering is that partner.

🟨 Let’s not wait for someone else to certify us.

🟩 Let’s inspect, verify, validate, and then proudly declare:

“Yes, this was made in India. And we stand by it.”
