Luminous Power Technologies has announced the appointment of Vivek Abrol as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective Monday, January 19, 2026.

In this role, Abrol will focus on driving profitable growth across the Luminous portfolio, advancing the company’s evolution into an integrated consumer energy fulfilment platform, and accelerating the expansion of solar and sustainable energy solutions, the company stated.

He will reinforce Luminous’ dominance in its core inverter and battery markets, prioritising new and emerging technologies. His priorities include fostering innovation, leading digital transformation, and establishing a high-performance, inclusive, future-ready organisation to enhance customer experience and operational excellence, it said.

Abrol succeeds Preeti Bajaj, who will be transitioning to Luminous’ parent company, Schneider Electric, where she will assume the role of Executive Vice President (EVP) and lead their Global Home Solutions Division.

Under her leadership, Luminous significantly expanded its solar portfolio and capabilities, accelerated the adoption of sustainable energy solutions, deepened its focus on customer-centric innovation, and enhanced operational excellence across the organisation, the company said.

Former MD and CEO Preeti Bajaj said, “It has been a privilege to lead Luminous Power Technologies through a phase of strong growth and transformation. I’m incredibly proud of the team and the progress we have made together. Today, the company is well-positioned for its next chapter of growth. We are confident that under Vivek’s leadership, we will build on this strong foundation, elevate our focus on long-term value creation, and strengthen our position as India’s leading consumer energy fulfilment company.”

Commenting on his appointment, Vivek Abrol, MD and CEO, Luminous Power Technologies, said, “I’m honoured to take on the responsibility of leading Luminous Power Technologies, which has built a strong legacy of innovation, customer trust, and market leadership. India’s energy landscape is at a pivotal moment, driven by the transition toward cleaner, more reliable, and technology-enabled energy solutions. As reliability, sustainability, and technology increasingly shape how energy is generated, stored, and consumed in homes and businesses, our focus will be on delivering innovative energy solutions that meet their evolving needs.”

With over 25 years of leadership experience, including a decade as CEO, Abrol brings deep expertise in FMCG, Stationery, and Electricals. He started his career with ITC, where he spent 16 years spearheading multi-disciplinary leadership roles scaling FMCG businesses, and the next 10 years as Business Head and CEO in other diverse sectors working with Pidilite Industries and RR Kabel in managing end-to-end businesses.

His recent role as CEO of RR Kabel’s Consumer Electricals Business (FMEG) was marked by a transformational growth story – multiplying the business 5X in his 4.5 years’ tenure while driving innovation across fans, lights, geysers, room heaters, coolers, and more. With his last assignment in RR Kabel, he also brings unique experience in leading M&A and playing a pivotal role in a successful IPO delivery, the company stated.
