Manish,

I am working on a database for a Indian search engine
right now and I came across quite a few websites that
end in .co.in

Here are some examples:
http://www.puretech.co.in
http://www.heart.org.in
http://www.akshay.co.in
http://www.tangerine.co.in
http://www.netlink.co.in

etc... etc... so I think the domains ending with .in
are available but they are not as popular as .com or
.org domains.

More information about registering domains ending with
.in can be found at http://soochak.ncst.ernet.in

Regards,

Nikhil
