Kitchens today are evolving beyond function – they’re becoming spaces of comfort, style, and daily connection. Yet, even in modern homes, everyday cooking often brings challenges that disrupt that experience. Recognising this, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., a brand trusted for innovation and quality, has introduced two new premium solutions under its theme ‘Smart Inside, Stunning Outside’ – the Viona Hobs Series and the Eliteo BLDC Chimney Series. Together, they combine elegant aesthetics with thoughtful design, helping consumers create their dream kitchens. Providing peace of mind to consumers, these launches reflect Crompton’s commitment to addressing the evolving needs of Indian households.
In most Indian kitchens, the challenges extend beyond just cooking. Spilled milk or water often seeps beneath burners, leading to hygiene concerns and damage, while hob installations can create slab-cutting worries. Many households also find cleaning tedious or postpone upgrades due to layout constraints. At the same time, families want faster cooking with less gas consumption, and seek stylish yet safe appliances that complement their lifestyle. Similarly, heavy smoke during frying or roti toasting, oil accumulation that clogs chimneys, and the need to remember manual auto-clean cycles remain everyday frustrations. Consumers also increasingly desire chimneys with powerful suction, quieter operations, and advanced BLDC motor technology at an affordable price. Designed with these needs in mind, the Viona Series Hobs and Eliteo BLDC Chimneys offer intuitive solutions that simplify cooking, ensure safety, and elevates the modern kitchen experience.
This innovation reflects Crompton’s focus on creating appliances that are both high-performing and deeply intuitive. Some of the standout features of the Viona Hobs Series include:
Sealed Burners System: One of the most common kitchen issues is liquid seepage into burners, especially during milk or water spills. Viona’s sealed burner design prevents this, ensuring hygiene, avoiding internal damage, and reducing cleaning time — delivering convenience and peace of mind every day.
Direct Flame Burners: Specially designed for Indian cooking styles, the vertical flame ensures faster, more even heat distribution. This not only saves time but also improves energy efficiency, making it ideal for heavy-duty meal preparation.
Flame Failure Device: If a flame goes out accidentally, this built-in safety feature automatically cuts off the gas supply — reducing leakage risks and ensuring a safer cooking environment.
Hybrid Hobtop Design: For homeowners who want a sleek hob without modifying their kitchen slab, Viona’s dual-use format offers flexibility. It functions as both a built-in hob and a countertop appliance, making it ideal for rented homes, remodels, or upgrades without civil work.

Equally, the Eliteo BLDC Chimney Series has been crafted to directly address common frustrations faced in Indian kitchens:
Rapid 1900 m³/hr Suction: Smoke-filled kitchens can make cooking stressful. With its powerful suction capacity, Eliteo clears smoke, fumes, and odours in seconds — creating a fresh, breathable atmosphere and making every cooking experience more comfortable.
Intelligent AutoClean: Remembering to clean chimneys is often inconvenient. Crompton’s patented AutoClean technology solves this by automatically cleaning the chimney after every 30 hours of usage. This not only saves time and effort but also maintains consistent performance with zero manual intervention.
Smart On: Cooking often begins in a hurry, and switching on appliances can feel like an extra step. With its inbuilt thermal sensor, the chimney powers on automatically when it detects cooking activity. This seamless, hands-free feature ensures the kitchen stays fresh without a second thought.
