There are clear signs of an upturn in the Indian economy, which is expected to expand by 6.5% in the year to March 2010, prime minister Manmohan Singh said on Sunday.                                            

India's economic growth slowed to 6.7% in the 2008-09 fiscal year through March after three straight years of at least 9%, and government officials have said growth in the current year is on track for roughly 6.5%.
