Someone called Arindam did some GSoc work on localising
OSM, but not sure if that was for interface, or data. At
that time, I had set up an internal local server for OSM.
Things seemed to work, but I had not tested it extensively.
I can try setting that up, and looking at the localisation
work over the next couple of weeks.

Are you looking at just a server that serves Indian-language
data, or one on the Indian backbone, and more accessible to
Indian users, at least in big cities? If the former, it
probably makes more sense to just ask OSM itself to host
data localised into Indian languages.

Gora
