Well I don't think many people will be using the mirror considering the number of bsd users. Also ISPs don't give discounts if data transfer is from India only. :).

Nice to have following things: - ISOs - All the packages. Something like [1]. - Ports tree - Documentation I don't think that putting the source for the ports is necessary at the early stage.
