If you share your code it would be easier to understand what exactly you
need.

My approach for this exercise would be to grab the SRTM dem data[1] and
clip it to the India borders[2] using GDAL/QGIS.

What you then have is a gridded raster with each pixel representing the
elevation at that point. It seems like that is all the data you would need
for your computation right?
