Patanjali and its grand plans: Ramdev expects Rs 20,000 cr revenue in FY18

Baba Ramdev-led Patanjali is looking at a two-fold jump in sales at over Rs 20,000 crore this financial year as it plans to double its distribution network to 12,000 across the country.

Besides, the company is aspiring to further strengthen its presence and lead in most of the product categories.

The Haridwar-based FMCG firm had clocked a turnover of Rs 10,561 crore in the financial year ended March 31, 2017.

"We would grow more than double this year... By next year, Patanjali would be in the leading position and in most of the product categories, it would be number one," yoga guru Ramdev said.

The company is in the process of setting up mega production units at several places, including Noida, Nagpur, and Indore, which would take its production capacity to Rs 60,000 crore from the existing Rs 35,000 crore.

"Our Noida facility would have a production capacity of Rs 20,000 crore, Nagpur 15,000 crore to Rs 20,000 crore and Indore Rs 5,000 crore," he added.

The company is also strengthening its distribution network to reach more consumers across the country.

"We would double our distributors' network to 12,000 from the present 6,000," Ramdev said.
