Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited is an Indian company engaged in the iron and steel sector, with operations spanning mining, manufacturing and related activities. The Company has taken a strategic step to strengthen its footprint in the steel value chain through an investment made by its wholly owned subsidiary.
Lloyds Steel Private Limited (formerly known as Lloyds Logistics Private Limited), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been allotted 11,70,000 fully paid-up equity shares of Loka Metals Private Limited through a preferential allotment by way of private placement.
This investment represents a 19.50% equity stake in Loka Metals. The total consideration for the subscription amounts to ₹1,17,00,000, with the shares subscribed at their par value of ₹10 per share. Through this move, the subsidiary secures a meaningful minority position in a growing steel-focused enterprise.
Loka Metals Private Limited is a recently incorporated company, established on 2nd September 2025, and located in Hyderabad, Telangana. As it is in its initial year of operations, it has not yet completed its first financial year and therefore does not have audited financial statements available.
The company operates in the steel processing and iron and steel trading segment. It is currently in the process of setting up a steel distribution facility, including a cut and bend plant, and is yet to commence full-scale commercial operations.
The primary objective of this investment is to strengthen the marketing strategy of wire rods and expand presence in the steel processing ecosystem. By partnering at an early stage, Lloyds Steel positions itself to support and participate in the growth of Loka Metals from its foundation phase.
The investment aligns with the broader business focus of strengthening capabilities within the iron and steel industry, particularly in processing and distribution. This step reflects a forward-looking approach aimed at building deeper integration across the steel value chain while creating long-term strategic value.
