Gradle ignoring maven local and going to remote for fetching compile dependencies(gradle 4.7)

Help/Discuss
1

repositories {
mavenLocal()

maven {
    url uri(BUILD_PATH_TO_LOCAL_M2_REPO)
}

maven {
    url uri(BUILD_PATH_TO_LOCAL_ARTIFACTORY)
}

url ‘http://remote-url’

}

dependencies {
compile (group: ‘com.xxx.xxx’, name: xxx_SERVICE_NAME, version: XXX_VERSION) {
transitive = false
}
compile group: ‘com.cisco.apicem’, name: xxx_SERVICE_NAME, version: xxx_VERSION, classifier: ‘package’, ext: ‘tar.gz’
}

This is some code from my build.gradle. the dependencies are not defined in remote and it for sure in local artifactory and local m2…but gradle sometime goes to remote to fetch and fails because we dont have these dependencies remotely. Why it is ignoring the local repositories?
