For the fiscal beginning next month, the home-grown retail giant is targetting a revenue of Rs 4,000 crore, followed by five-fold jump to Rs 20,000-crore in five years.
"We have a vision that we will grow (FCEL) to a Rs 20,000-crore business by 2021," Kishore Biyani, Founder and Chief Executive of Future Group, said here today.
"It comes with the ambition of the Group also, which has decided to open multiple stores.... 360 hyper-markets, 4,000 small stores. If we are able to do that, our food business alone on the retail side will be close to Rs 40,000 to Rs 45,000 crore," he added.
The company has over 350 SKUs (stock keeping units) across its food and non-food brands, and Biyani said it will introduce about 1,000 such facilities by the end of the current fiscal.

"We are sufficiently funded, and will not need to raise more capital for another three to four years. We will consider raising debt if we need more funds," Biyani said.
Future Group has also tied up with LT Foods, owner of the Daawat rice brand, for developing rice and rice products.
FCEL has already started a distribution pilot in Varanasi for its brand Tasty Treat, and targets a revenue of up to Rs 1,500 crore for the brand by 2021, he said.
