I download OSM XML data for Delhi/NCR quite often from the website
itself - "Export" tab - and it fetches through OSM API. I haven't
tried scripting or use any already existing scripts, but you can find
one on the wiki.

Only issue that I see is, as we can select a rectangular area, you
will be downloading data for Indian Subcontinent and not purely India.
