Fabrication, no matter how manufacturing it takes is still considered as a service industry and will remain to be so. The fabrication of material handling equipment is a complex one and not many service providers are able to perform up to the mark in this sector. It is difficult to build a name in this sector as it requires expertise in design, development and delivery which cannot be perfectly delivered by many. On top of that, owing to the GST implementations, a lot of business that was handled illegally can be taken care of anymore. Many players in this industry, especially the small scale players are trying to make their way out of the industry while the old and established ones are trying to expand business perspectives and cater to more sectors of the business ecosystem.
