On Wednesday, Reuters reported India was considering joining Euroclear, the world's largest securities settlement system, with the condition that only long-term foreign investors trade Indian government debt for now.

"We are discussing with various players to see what best can be done to smoothen the process of trading by the foreign investors," Mr Khan said at a banking conclave in Bhubaneswar.
