content: I stumbled upon this :https://www.pcbpower.com/Pcbpower/place-order-pagewhich would have been very interesting since Chinese New Year.Alas, you can't register online if you aren't indian. When asked why, I was told to enquire at eurocircuits.comWhich lead me here :https://www.eurocircuits.com/blog/eurocircuits-india-new-pcb-production-plant-for-the/"A market experiment with PCB Power – a copy of the Eurocircuits business for India – shows that there is a local Indian market for prototypes and small volume. We hope this will also be the case for the rest of the Asian-Pacific market."Luckily, eurocircuits offers "Bindi pool : Medium volume boards from our new plant in India" so I tried the same options as at PCBPower but leadtime and price quadrupled. Shame.

content: I guess they don't accept foreign customers as the government creates many hassles for getting money into India, exporting goods from here and so on. The red tape is just too high.I use their services quite often and their quality is very good at low prices.It is quite intriguing that the logo of EuroCircuits and PCB Power are very similar..

content: There is a captive market for domestic prototyping businesses in India, as buying from China involves a lot of delays and tariff issues for local companies. This probably allows them to charge a lot.

You may contact them directly by email to check if they can ship overseas.May be they will accept.

content: Koen,Are the prices worth it? I could have someone as a PCB agent. How do prices compare to JLCPCB? I wonder about lead times. Sometimes JLCPCB was pretty fast.
