India is among the world the fastest growing economies this year.Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan said on Thursday that the Indian economy was in a recovery phase."There are signs of pick up in capital investments," Rajan said.

Rajan also said that India's exposure to Greece was very, very limited. "The direct exposure is very limited for India. But there is some indirect exposure like how the Euro would react to the Greece situation." He added after the initial burst of volatility, investors will start differentiating. "Our growth prospects are good and the buffers that we have are reasonable, including foreign exchange," Rajan said.

He added that exports remained an area of relative concern but they have been weak across all Asian economies, barring China.
