Luminous Power Technologies has announced a leadership transition with the appointment of Vivek Abrol as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 19, 2026. The move marks a new phase for the company as it sharpens its focus on growth, sustainability, and technology-led energy solutions.
Vivek Abrol takes over from Preeti Bajaj, who has transitioned to Luminous’ parent company, Schneider Electric, where she will assume the role of Executive Vice President and lead its Global Home Solutions Division. The change signals continuity in leadership while aligning Luminous more closely with Schneider Electric’s global energy and home solutions strategy.
In his new role, Abrol will be responsible for driving profitable growth across Luminous’ portfolio and advancing its evolution into an integrated consumer energy fulfilment platform. His mandate includes strengthening the company’s leadership in inverters and batteries, accelerating the expansion of solar and sustainable energy solutions, and investing in innovation and digital transformation to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.
Commenting on the transition, Preeti Bajaj reflected on her tenure at the company, noting that Luminous has built a strong foundation in consumer energy and solar solutions over the years. She said the organisation is well positioned for its next stage of growth and expressed confidence that Abrol’s leadership will build on the momentum created during her term.
Vivek Abrol said he was honoured to take on the responsibility of leading Luminous Power Technologies at a time when India’s energy landscape is undergoing significant change. He highlighted the growing importance of reliability, sustainability, and technology in how energy is generated, stored, and consumed, and said his focus would be on delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of homes and businesses.
With more than 25 years of leadership experience across FMCG, electricals, and consumer businesses, Abrol brings operational depth and scale-building expertise to the role. His previous assignments include senior leadership roles at ITC, Pidilite Industries, and RR Kabel, where he led the consumer electricals business through a period of rapid expansion and transformation.
Luminous Power Technologies, with a legacy spanning over three decades, continues to strengthen its position in inverters, batteries, and residential solar solutions. The leadership transition comes as the company looks to deepen its role in India’s clean energy transition while expanding its presence in global markets.
