The event was hosted by Port of Antwerp Bruges, Flanders Investment & Trade, the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, the Belgian Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs and the Consulate General of Belgium in Mumbai. It was part of the High-Level Dialogue on the India-EU FTA, which brought together key industry leaders and was attended by H.E.

TVH has been present in India for 14 years and has continued to expand its operations in the country. What started as a support-oriented service centre has evolved into a growing Global Capability Centre in Pune, supporting TVH’s global operations across technology, engineering, digital, data and business support functions.
In July 2026, TVH expanded its Pune Global Capability Centre with a new office floor, adding 150 seats and taking the centre’s total seating capacity to 400. The expansion provides the capacity needed to support the continued growth of specialised capabilities in Pune.
Commenting on the engagement, Vishal Rajani, Managing Director, TVH India, said, “It was a privilege to meet Prime Minister Bart De Wever during his visit to India. India is strategically important for TVH, and our presence here has continued to grow over the years. The expansion of our Pune Global Capability Centre reflects our continued investment in India and the growing role of our teams in supporting TVH’s global operations. We are pleased to see the continued strengthening of Belgium India and India EU relations and look forward to further strengthening our presence in India.”
Today, the Pune GCC supports teams across engineering, digital products, enterprise technology, data and AI, and business support. The centre works closely with TVH teams in Belgium, the United States and other global locations, contributing to the company’s global operations and technology capabilities.
The Mumbai networking reception provided TVH with an opportunity to engage in discussions on international trade, logistics and investment, and exchange views on the growing business relationship between Belgium and India.
