       In The Bookseller Charlotte Williams reports that Indian book market in "rapid growth", as:

The Indian book market grew by 45% in volume and 40% in value over the first half of 2011, with adult fiction the fastest-growing area of the market, according to Nielsen BookScan India figures as the panel marks its first full year of sales monitoring

Adult fiction was the fastest growing area of the market over the first half of 2011, growing by 82% in volume and 49% in value
