Yum Brands Inc., parent of the KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut fast-food chains, plans to double its Indian revenues by 2010 as it adds more restaurants, its top Indian official said on Friday.

‘We will be adding around 30-40 restaurants annually for the next 3 years,’ said Niren Chaudhary, India managing director for Yum International Restaurants.

‘We want to serve a larger customer base, with focus on being relevant to Indian customers,’ he added while opening a food festival at a New Delhi Pizza Hut outlet.
