A quarter century back 1984-85, a young man from Kanyakumari District landed up at Madras with a vision to come up in shipping line where he first started working with ship repair firm in Mechanical and Welding works. With this humble beginning he slowly raised to team leader in the contract group and then became a contractor himself for Steel, Pipe and Mechanical works on board ships visiting Madras . He finally started Raj Engineering Works in the year 1988. He was a major contractor having more than 300 workers at Chokhani International Floating Dry Dock, Binny Engineering works and Goodwill also at Madras Harbour for about 13 years. He eventually spread his wings with 800 workers at Western India Floating Drydock at Goa and offshore work also. His thirst for becoming a ship repair magnet along with ship building activities increased leaps and bounds.

During the year 2001, for further establishment of the company it was amalgamated with Rarefield Engineers Pvt Ltd.
