He said from Future Group's stores, the business of established FMCG player such as HUL is around Rs 1,300 crore to Rs 1,400 crore.

"I believe that Patanajali products could easily achieve that," Biyani added.

He said Patanjali is also planning to launch products like pasta, oats, juices, muesli soon and is targeting to achieve Rs 5,000 crore turnover this fiscal.

On association with Patanjali, he said the two companies are also considering to have production partnership.

"We are working on it. In the long-run we would jointly develop brands together," Biyani said adding Future Group is setting an office in Haridwar for distribution and marketing of Patanajali products.
