Greek pressing plants did popular music not classical AFAIK. Actually Greek pressings of pop music are pretty good. The big companies like EMI and philips had operations there in the post war era and their vinyl have good surfaces. for the most part. They also pressed quite a few records for surrounding countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
As for India, they had their own advanced classical tradition which probably inhibited the adoption of western symphonic music. That was not the case in the Far East where their classical traditions were much more restricted. Sadly of course Indian classical music is becoming extinct even in India paralleling the decline of western classical music elsewhere or even outpacing it.
