Our story

Global Reach. Local Commitment.

It began in 2010 with one conviction — reliable supply wins trust, and trust builds an enterprise that lasts. Habib founded Lokhandwala Trading LLC in Dubai and grew it into a trusted partner on major government projects across the UAE.

Today, LKT Universal Private Limited brings that same commitment to India — offering ship chandling, marine services and railway supplies from Mumbai. Our range spans anchor chains, offshore anchors, mooring chains, buoys, kenter shackles, swivel groups, connecting links, rubber fenders, towing hooks and sinkers.
