In a visit to Nagpur Yoga guru Ramdev Baba said Patanjali will also venture into garments area and a ‘swadeshi jeans’ will be launched by end of the year or early next year.

There is a great demand from youths, and therefore Patanjali has decided to launch the Indianised jeans to compete with foreign brands, he said.

The company’s refined edible oil will also be launched this year, he added.

On expansion, Ramdev said Patanjali will be setting up its biggest unit on a 40-lakh sqft at Mihan in Nagpur, which will be bigger than its first unit at Haridwar and biggest in the country.

The total investment in the city will be to the tune of Rs 1,000 crore with a potential of providing employment opportunities to 10,000 to 15,000 youths from Maharashtra.

“We have already set up our units in Nepal and Bangladesh and our products have reached the Middle East and became popular in some of the countries, including Saudi Arabia,” Baba Ramdev told reporters here.

“We should be concentrating in poor countries as the profits from those countries will be utilised for development work there itself.

“The entry to Pakistan and Afghanistan will mostly depend on the prevailing political situation, and if the situation is politically conducive, units will be set up there,” he said.

He said their company products are reaching right up to Canada.
