RIL export plan

MUMBAI: Reliance Industries has decided to make textiles the key catalyst for export growth to attain its targeted 200 per cent increase in export earnings by 2000-01. The fresh focus on textiles follows a significant demand for the products in developed markets like UK, US, Canada and Germany. Textile exports, which account for only 11.6 per cent of total exports, will be increased substantially in the coming years, said a Reliance official.
