Born in 1978- Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) is a
sponsored body under the Ministry of Textiles. Build and lived to its mandate
of Apparel and Garments export promotions in India; it tells the saga of the
bygone era. From just being a quota
monitoring entity, AEPC is today a powerful body for the promotion and
facilitation of garment manufacturing and their exports. AEPC is endowed with
the power to create myth, transcending moments of apparel export history as a
narrative of extraordinary time. This body has recorded amazing kaleidoscopic
breadth of events– witness of good and bad business environment. AEPC has often
triumphant in the cause of promoting apparel export with the cooperation and
stupendous talent of exports across India. Initially started with a just one
office, with a passage of time it has grown to be the largest Export Promotion
Council having membership of nearly 8000 from amongst large Corporate Houses,
