Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the recovery of India's economy after the difficult phase of COVID-19 pandemic has been robust.

"After the difficult phase of the coronavirus pandemic, the Indian economy has recovered very fast. The world is hopeful about India because of this recovery," the Prime Minister said.
He added that an international organisation had recently said that "India is once again on its way to becoming the fastest growing economy of the world."
