PCB fabrication within India?

Is there any PCB fab in India now for ordering prototype PCBs.
PCB size <100cm² and double sided with vias.
Ordering from jlcpcb/seeed or others takes much time to reach to my hands 15+ days.
For single sided PCBs, I have the option to make my hands dirty with FeCl₃.
Budget is say max ₹500 for 2/3pcs PCBs.
 
Instant quotes from robu.in and lioncircuits.com for 10x10cm 2 layer PCB, quantity of 5, this is the minimum order quantity. Choose your flavor.

I don't think there are any custom PCB fab facilities in India. Robu outsources it to China and I am sure others also do the same.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

i think lioncircuits have their own fab , I have a contact who makes dual-layer PCB ( may be sourcing from china as it take one month to deliver ) . i source single layer PCB from microcircuits cochin they are good for the price

how much is the cost you're getting the single layer pcb from microcircuits? do they manufacture locally?
 
Lion Circuits have their own lab, I believe robu also uses fab of their own or get it done locally from somewhere here in India. There are many fabs here in India.

Don't judge based on the delivery time, if you can get your product from china in 20 days, and a fab here also gives 20 days delivery time, that doesn't mean the fab is importing from China. PCB manufacturing takes time and if you want it fast, then you have to pay extra. It's just that China is giving fast manufacturing at a normal pricing.

Problem from importing from China is that it is not reliable if you want to do it regularly because of customs and stuff and Indian post. You never know when you will be slapped with custom duty.

Stick with Robu and Lioncircuits I have tried both and they work just fine. There are many other players here, but they don't have online stuff, you have to call/email and do all of that communicating stuff.
