Arun, correct, this data is not as accurate (in spots) as OSM. In some places it is better, but it has room for improvement. In overall coverage there are more roads connecting villages, cities, settlements in this data. There is less detail in cities/ villages however. Im looking for a few other datasets, but the government really doesn't like to share for some reason. If I find something that osm/ mapbox can use I will send it along.
