Inspection Company in Ludhiana — Winter Wear, Bikes & Tools
Independent QC for sweaters, fleece, hosiery, bicycles, bike parts and hand tools across Ludhiana's industrial cluster. AQL-compliant, 24-hour photo reports, peak-season capacity.
Why Ludhiana Needs Specialist QC
Ludhiana is India's industrial heart — over $5 billion in annual exports across winter-wear, bicycles, hosiery, hand tools and engineering goods. Buyers include Walmart, Decathlon, Halfords, Tchibo, Lidl and hundreds of European and US importers.
Two distinct QC disciplines are needed: textile/knitwear specialists for sweaters and hosiery, and engineering inspectors for bikes, parts and tools — both of which need calibrated equipment and category training.
Our Ludhiana team has both — with permanent garment QCs and engineering inspectors on the same roster, available same-day across the cluster.

Ludhiana Inspection — FAQs
What does Ludhiana specialise in for inspections?
Ludhiana is India's #1 hub for winter-wear (sweaters, fleece, jackets), hosiery, bicycles and bike parts, hand tools and sewing-machine parts. We have a permanent inspection team there with category specialists for each line.
Do you inspect bicycles and bicycle parts in Ludhiana?
Yes. Ludhiana produces over 80% of India's bicycles (Hero, Avon, Atlas) and components. We verify frame welds, paint DFT, brake/gear function, dimensional accuracy of parts, plating thickness and threading torque per OEM specs.
What does a PSI cost in Ludhiana?
Standard pre-shipment inspection in Ludhiana is $220–$270 per man-day with 24-hour photo report. Most winter-wear orders need 1 man-day per 1,500–3,000 pcs; bicycle inspections may need 1–2 man-days per container.
Can you handle peak winter-season inspections (Aug-Oct)?
Yes. We scale our Ludhiana team during the Aug-Oct sweater/fleece export peak with same-day scheduling. Booking 7–10 days ahead is recommended for guaranteed slots during this window.
Do you supervise loading at ICD Ludhiana (Dhandari Kalan)?
Yes. We supervise loading at the factory in Ludhiana, Sahnewal, Doraha or Khanna and at ICD Dhandari Kalan, with carton count, loading sequence, container condition, seal verification and full photo log.
Are your inspectors trained in engineering goods QC?
Yes. Our Ludhiana team includes mechanical inspectors trained on dimensional metrology (calipers, micrometers), hardness testing (portable Rockwell), weld inspection and torque verification — for hand tools, bike parts and sewing-machine components.
