To grow X times [from]

Is it correct to omit the word [from] in the following sentence?

The challenging targets of the plan require production to growth between 3 and 4 times [from] the current levels.

Its purpose is to compare the yearly production a factory should reach in N years, with (from) current production.

Thank you,

With or without "from", that sentence is not right. As far as I can tell, you mean this: The challenging targets of the plan require production to grow to between three and four times current levels. It is good style to write small numbers in words.
