AEPC Chairman Ashok G Rajani said that the council would also work to achieve the textile export target of USD 30 billion.

They not only have to reach the target of USD 30 billion that the government has set for them, but have to go ahead and exceed that. With their strategies and the reforms, they don’t think it is going to be very difficult.
