Vopak FID on new LPG greenfield terminal by Indian JV AVTL

42% owned AVTL announced a €170m investment in a greenfield LPG terminal and bottling plant. LPG demand in India has grown at a 7.3% CAGR over the past decade with further attractive growth in demand and terminal imports expected. The Indian JV AVTL was recently listed and the IPO proceeds amounted to ca. €290m to be deployed for debt repayment and further growth initiatives. The listing frees up cash at the Vopak holding which can be deployed for funding other investments or additional shareholder returns. Vopak recently released solid quarterly numbers and the EBITDA bandwith outlook was narrowed to the upside, and this amidst all tariff related uncertainty and unfavourable FX dynamics. Vopak offers visibility and an attractive valuation underpinned by a 10% normalised FCF yield.
