I qualified my answer "if it comes under works contract" The appropriate reply can be given if could share the nature of fabrication work, the constitution of fabricator and principal, responsibility of supply of material, place of fabrication, whether principal is registered under excise and taking input credit, how is he clearing the goods for fabrication to job worker etc.

Fabrication is a manufacturing activity, hence excise duty is applicable, even in case of site fabrication under works contract attracts excise duty. VAT is applicable as transfer of property involved, including under works contract.
