Future Ventures has invested in various business ventures including FMCG, food processing, rural distribution, fashion and food processing companies. The companyalso plans to set-up a food park in Karnataka which will be fully functional in the next 12-18 months.
A food park is essentially a food processing facility to be set-up by the company. The company plans to set-up two more food parks, in Gujarat and Bihar. However, this is still in the early stages as the company is awaiting the requisite approvals from the government.
The investment for the food park in Gujarat requires Rs 140 crore, of which, Rs 50 crore would be financed by Government grants and the rest via a mix of debt and equity, said Mr Kishor Biyani, CEO, Future Group.
