Mr Uppal has been appointed as managing director and chief executive officer of L&T Power, Mumbai-based L&T said in a statement on Thursday.
���I am sure that Mr Uppal���s presence will give further impetus to our thrust on the power sector,��� L&T chairman AM Naik said .
Mr Uppal is credited with the accelerated growth and turn around of ABB���s business in India and in the Asia-Pacific region, as its regional president, before taking up the role at the group level.
