Lloyds Engineering Works was incorporated in 1994 as Climan Properties Private Limited and later converted into a public company. It underwent multiple name changes—becoming Encon Technologies Limited in 2000, Lloyds Encon Technologies (I) Limited in 2011, and Lloyds Steels Industries Limited in 2013. Under a court-approved scheme of arrangement, the engineering division of Uttam Value Steels Limited was demerged into the company (via Lloyds Engineering Works Limited) in 2015. Following the scheme, the company was listed on the BSE and NSE on July 18, 2016, and in July 2023 it was renamed Lloyds Engineering Works Limited.
