I derived the straight line equation : Vout = 30Vin - 2, which will give to required output. I tried a lot of techniques with summer circuits/ level shifters but could not solve the problem. appreciate any help. thanks

Your desired range of output covers 25% of maximum, to 100% of maximum. The most direct solution is to subtract a fraction of a volt from your input, so that the op amp receives a 25% to 100% possible range. Then set gain to create your desired output.
