NPI & low-volume manufacturing · Chennai
Electronics built in batches of 5 to 500, by the team that designed them.
Large EMS providers usually set minimum runs in the thousands. Inceptarc's Product Development Centre in Chennai is set up for the volumes below that: design-validation batches, pilot runs and field-trial units, with DFM review, fabrication, assembly and functional test under one roof.
Every step of a small batch happens in one place, so nothing is lost between vendors.
DFM review
We review your existing design before a board is ordered, flag manufacturability and sourcing risks, and agree the fixes with you.
PCB fabrication
One to eight layers, from 5 units, with a 5 to 10 day board turnaround. Boards are built to IPC-A-600 Class 2 acceptance, with UL 94V-0 laminates.
SMT and through-hole assembly
Assembly and rework in Chennai, with component sourcing across Mouser, Digi-Key and Element14 through our PartsForYou division.
Test fixtures and functional test
Fixtures and test procedures are developed alongside the board, so every unit leaving the bench has been exercised.
Enclosures and box build
Enclosures are designed in CAD and printed in-house, which lets pilot units ship as complete, housed products.
Pilot production
Iteration cycles and pilot batches that prepare the design for a larger manufacturer when you are ready to scale.
For programmes that need a partner at the start, before volume exists.
- OEM engineering teams running a new product introduction who want a build partner alongside their own engineers.
- Startups moving from a prototype to a first pilot batch.
- Teams that need field-trial units for customer validation.
- Procurement teams qualifying a new vendor: we complete vendor registration forms and sign NDAs and MSAs.
- Companies that need GST-compliant invoicing and company documentation for supplier qualification.
- Research and education buyers that need small batches of custom boards.

Questions we get asked first.
What is the smallest and largest batch you take?
Batches run from 5 to 500 units. That range covers design-validation batches, pilot runs and field-trial units, which larger EMS providers typically decline.
How fast can a board be turned?
Board turnaround is typically 5 to 10 days. A complete working prototype, including firmware and enclosure, typically takes about 60 days.
What quality standards do you build to?
Boards are fabricated to IPC-A-600 Class 2 acceptance criteria, with laminates rated UL 94V-0 and materials compliant with RoHS and REACH. ISO 9001 certification is in progress.
Can you support our vendor onboarding?
Yes. Inceptarc Technologies Private Limited is a registered Indian company (CIN U62011TN2026PTC190646) with GST registration, and issues GST-compliant invoices. We complete vendor registration forms, sign NDAs and MSAs, and supply company documentation for supplier qualification.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes. We support new product introduction end to end, including DFM review of your design, prototype builds, iteration cycles, test fixture development and pilot production, working next to your engineers.
Do you ship across India?
Yes. For hardware built and assembled in Chennai, typical domestic delivery is 2 to 5 business days after production is complete.
Talk to the engineer who would do the work.
Send a sketch, a schematic or a paragraph. You get a scoped reply within 1–2 days, and an NDA is available on request. The Centre is at No 79/29, North Mada Street, Padi, Chennai — 600 050, Tamil Nadu, India.
