Our community server at http://freemap.in can host and provide help for an India-specific OSM instance, unless Kenneth has already acquired space elsewhere. Our server is *meant* for these projects and is dedicated to open source mapping apps.
Arindam Ghosh told me that he will work on setting up a new instance of OSM here. We'll keep everyone posted. If anyone else wants to volunteer to work on the freemap server and Indic localization of an OSM instance here, please let me know. Arindam is also working on importing the shape files from http://mumbai.freemap.in into OSM format. While we plan to host this locally, we want to discuss eventual merger of Mumbai Freemap data into main OSM to replace the very inaccurate road data for Mumbai which is presently in OSM.
