Dhruv Luthra: Redefining Industrial Leadership Through Green Innovation
Jagran Desk
The “Unity for Growth” National Conference held at Bharat Mandapam on July 3 brought together influential voices from across India to envision a self-reliant and sustainable future for the nation.
Among the key figures who stood out at this transformative event was Dhruv Luthra, Managing Director of Luthra Group, who is charting a new course for Indian industry by placing sustainability at the core of strategy.
A Vision for Viksit Bharat
Hosted by Brand Vista Consulting, the conference united policymakers, industry leaders, social entrepreneurs, and youth influencers in a common mission—creating a resilient and developed India by 2047. Inaugurated by Shri Syed Shahnawaz Hussain, former Union Minister and MP, the gathering stressed collective responsibility, inclusive development, and the philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”—the world is one family.
Luthra Group’s Green Revolution
At the heart of this vision lies the pioneering work of the Luthra Group, led by Chairman Girish Luthra and Managing Director Dhruv Luthra. Under Dhruv’s leadership, the company has transitioned from a traditional legacy business into a forward-looking climate-tech innovator.
Dhruv Luthra has reimagined industrial growth by aligning profitability with planet-positive practices. The group’s adoption of the **3R approach—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—**has resulted in tangible environmental gains:
-
12.6 million metric tons of waste repurposed annually
-
12.33 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions prevented
-
5.4 lakh kilolitres of LDO fuel saved per year
-
Over 1.68 billion litres of wastewater recycled annually
Ekacoal: Turning Waste Into Fuel
One of Luthra Group’s flagship innovations, Ekacoal, is a clean-burning fuel created from non-recyclable industrial waste. It not only tackles mounting landfill waste but also reduces reliance on fossil fuels—underscoring how circular economy models can work at scale.
From Local Legacy to Global Impact
Founded in 1955 in Surat by Rameshchandra M. Luthra, the business evolved under the visionary leadership of Girish Luthra, who expanded into waste management in the late 1990s. Today, Dhruv Luthra is steering the group into its most transformative phase, with a mission to reduce the company’s carbon footprint by 40% by 2030.
From deploying AI in recycling systems to scaling green infrastructure across 11 plants, Luthra Group has grown its workforce from 75 to over 1,600 employees, proving that green business is also good business.
Leadership With Purpose
A graduate of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Singapore, with diplomas in Management and Textile Engineering, Dhruv Luthra combines academic excellence with entrepreneurial agility. His leadership style promotes innovation, sustainability, and collaboration—making him a standout among India’s new-generation industrialists.
Driving a Carbon-Negative Future
“We see sustainability not as an obligation, but as a business imperative,” says Dhruv. By integrating environmental accountability across every process, he is building not just a company—but a climate movement within India’s industrial landscape.
The Luthra Group's journey serves as a blueprint for future-focused leadership where profitability, people, and the planet move forward together.
