AEPC convenes in New Delhi to boost garment exports, targeting USD 40 billion by 2030.
In a recent meeting held in New Delhi, the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) gathered with buying agencies and liaison officers of overseas brands to strategize increasing Indian garment exports to USD 40 billion by 2030.
