Royal Vopak CEO Dick Richelle participated in a high-level CEO roundtable bringing together Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten alongside senior business leaders from both countries. The gathering highlighted the deepening bilateral relationship between India and the Netherlands.

Richelle’s presence at the roundtable reflects Royal Vopak’s growing footprint in the Indian market. Through its joint venture with Aegis Logistics Limited, Aegis Vopak Terminals Limited (AVTL), the company has built what it describes as India’s largest third-party LPG and liquid storage operation. AVTL currently manages approximately 1.7 million cubic meters of liquid storage and 225,000 MT of LPG storage capacity across six strategic Indian ports — a figure that represents 2.5 times growth over the past four years.

Among its most notable upcoming developments is India’s largest refrigerated LPG terminal, currently under construction at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), underscoring AVTL’s ambition to scale its infrastructure in line with India’s expanding energy needs.

Royal Vopak views India as a key long-term growth market, citing the country’s continued economic development and increasing market openness as central to its strategic outlook. The company reaffirmed its commitment through AVTL to supporting India’s broader energy ambitions.

The CEO roundtable represents one of several high-level engagements aimed at strengthening trade and investment ties between the Netherlands and India.
