Aegis Vopak Terminals Ltd. builds and operates India’s most extensive network of safe, state-of-the-art liquid and gas terminals and storage infrastructure. We connect global supply to India’s growing energy and industrial needs while advancing the transition to cleaner fuels.
AVTL combines over 400 years of collective expertise from Aegis Logistics, India’s leading oil, gas, and chemical logistics provider and Royal Vopak, the world’s foremost independent tank storage company. The publicly listed company merges deep local knowledge with world-class technical standards and safety protocols, positioning itself as a leader in the storage and handling of future fuels. With a shared vision to meet India’s rising energy needs and support the global energy transition, AVTL is rapidly commissioning new infrastructure, expanding into emerging products like ammonia and LNG, and optimizing international trade flows through an integrated, future-ready platform.
Spanning 20 terminals across six major ports, AVTL's network creates a powerful link between global trade routes and India’s industrial heartlands. Each facility is strategically located along the coastline—from Kandla and Pipavav in the west to Haldia and Kochi in the east—ensuring efficient access for imports and seamless distribution throughout the country. With integrated connections to roads, rail, pipelines, and jetties, this scale and reach enable fast and reliable transfers that keep essential liquid and gas products flowing safely across the nation.
