If you don't mind putting in the effort of digitising some data.. the census 2011 administrative atlases do have major roads and railways data.. not sure how complete they are. https://censusindia.gov.in/census.website/data/atlas
Alternatively, there is also non vector data available from 2004-06 from https://onlinemaps.surveyofindia.gov.in/ .. I have collated the survey of india data as a raster basemap.. details are at https://ramseraph.github.io/opendata/maps/SOI/ If anyone does want to vectorize the SOI data.. do talk to me before going all out with downloading the data. @nisar.harsh it would be nice to have the date of data collection for the individual roads published as well.. and also the method of survey.. if aerial images were used ... Which imagery was involved and from what date.
