The governments in various countries warn people, to avoid visiting crowded places and keep social distancing for the prevention of spread. Restrictions are also there for opening up come of the public places stated above. Due to all these, there are no new demands for the fountain systems, and ongoing projects are also getting delayed for commissioning and installation.

Not only there are little demands and work orders to cater but the industry is also facing problems in executing the on-hand orders due to irregular supply of raw materials, irregular supply of labor, availability of Technical Experts. Taking together all problems into consideration, there are issues in the timely completion of the projects.
