The merger, effective from April 1, transforms the company from a premium equipment manufacturer into a complete design-to-execution solutions provider.

Merger Structure and Entity Integration

The board approved merger involves the absorption of Lloyds Infrastructure & Construction Limited (LICL), Metalfab Hightech Private Limited, and Techno Industries Private Limited into Lloyds Engineering Works Limited as the absorbing entity. The transaction has been structured under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013, with regulatory compliance under SEBI Listing Regulations.

Combined Financial Performance

Strategic Business Integration

The merger creates vertical integration across the entire industrial value chain, combining design capabilities through Lloyds Consulting Engineers, manufacturing precision of LEWL and Metalfab, and execution strength of LICL. This integration eliminates operational silos and enables the company to bid for larger, multi-disciplinary contracts while capturing value at every project stage.

Major Order Wins and Market Position
