WCI: How do you ensure quality control throughout the manufacturing process?
P.G.S: While Victory Plant and Machinery takes utmost care from sourcing of the material to machine building, the firm also ensures that there is no compromise on the quality of offerings and services. Testing of material before usage, fit and tolerance of machine parts before assembly, proper heat treatment, stress relieving procedures, checks and quality testing are some of the key initiatives taken by the firm at every stage of machine building.
For the new developments and critical applications, a prototype of critical components is first developed and tested, and only once when everything is found okay, the actual production begins. Thus, quality checks at various stages of machine building and proper testing of machine leads to delivering machines of the highest quality.

WCI: What is your view about the wire and cable sector?
MS: While sustained economic growth continues to drive electricity demand in India, the Indian power sector is undergoing a significant change that has redefined the industry outlook. To meet increasing demand for electricity in the country, massive addition to the installed generating capacity is required. The wires and cables sector is a direct beneficiary of development of power generation and distribution infrastructure. Increase in production capacity of cable companies to meet the increasing demand would significantly increase the requirements of various wire and cable machineries.
