New Delhi, Jan 24 (UNI) Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev on Friday said that the Patanjali Group is expecting Rs 25,000 crore turnover this fiscal and aims to become the country's largest FMCG company in coming years.
The Group has acquired debt-ridden Ruchi Soya.

"We will launch three new products under Nutrela brand targeting the health conscious people, targeting the people suffering from diseases such as heart, cholesterol and high blood pressure," he said.
These products will include premium Oil Nutrela Gold, Nutrela Honey and Nutrela Protein Atta.
"We are expecting three times growth from Ruchi Soya in coming years," Ramdev said, adding it will also lessen burden of import of edible oil from other countries and make India self dependent in this sector.
Patanjali will also coninue to have Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit as the brand ambassador for Ruchi Soya's Mahakosh range of products.
HUL, a market leader in the FMCG segment had reported a revenue of over Rs 38,000 crore in FY 2018-19 and this is expected to go up further with the merger with GSK Healthcare business.
