Free Equipment Management Software for NDT Companies in India

The India NDT inspection landscape

India concentrates a distinct mix of NDT-spend industries. The dominant verticals across our 3 curated India city pages are Refining, Petrochemical, Offshore (Mumbai High), Port operations, Auto manufacturing, and Refining (largest single-site refining complex in the world). Inspection contractors who win across India run multi-city operations: a single Level III may sign reports for jobs in Mumbai on Monday and Chennai by Thursday, with calibrated kit rotating between sites in between.

That cadence is what breaks spreadsheet-based equipment registers. Once your fleet sits at three or more job sites simultaneously, you cannot answer the basic auditor question — "where is asset 14, when was it last calibrated, and who is qualified to operate it?" — without a single live source of truth. The free the equipment registry provides that source for India contractors of every size, with no card-on-file and no per-instrument fee.

The pages below let you drill into any specific India city for industry-specific compliance context (named facilities, code authority overlays, audit windows). For multi-city contractors, this country rollup is where you start.

Regulatory landscape in India

Indian NDT personnel are certified by ISNT (Indian Society for NDT) under SNT-TC-1A-aligned procedures, with NDTCB providing central-scheme certification analogous to ASNT CP-189. Pressure equipment falls under IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations) and the various state boiler boards. Aerospace and rotorcraft MRO follow DGCA Part 145. Refining and petrochemical projects for IOCL, RIL, and BPCL apply ASME and API by reference.

Code authorities and personnel schemes recognised in India

• • ISNT / NDTCB — NDT personnel certification
• • IBR — Indian Boiler Regulations
• • State Boiler Boards — pressure equipment registration
• • DGCA Part 145 — aerospace MRO
• • API 510 / 570 / 653 — refining (by reference)
• • ASME Section VIII / IX — pressure equipment (by reference)

The free the equipment registry does not replace your written practice or procedure-level compliance under any of these authorities — it tracks the data layer (instrument calibrations, personnel cert levels, due-dates) that auditors check against your written system.

Why India inspection contractors choose the equipment registry

Five capabilities matter most to multi-city India NDT operations. Each is in the free tier — no upsell, no "Pro" gating.

• ✓Equipment registry with serial numbers, manufacturer, model, status — covers UT, RT, MT, PT, ET, VT, hardness, borescope, and reference-block hardware.
• ✓Calibration due-date tracking on every instrument, with status badges (Active, In Calibration, Out of Service, Retired).
• ✓Notes field per instrument — log repair history, customer-specific qualifications, and on-job assignments.
• ✓Export the full equipment register for client audits and pre-job submissions.
• ✓Cross-link instruments to live calibration alerts so a single change propagates to your scheduling.

Combined, these capabilities replace the spreadsheet-and-binder system that breaks above two job sites. India contractors using the free tools report a 70-90% reduction in pre-mobilisation document scramble time.

City-level code authorities across India

Aggregating across our covered India cities, the most-frequently-encountered code regimes are listed below. The free tools track the metadata each of these authorities audits.
