The Government of India considers IPv6 deployment to be one of the top priorities for the country.
When His Excellency Thiru Dayanidhi Maran became the Union Minister for IT in July 2004, he published his Ten Point Agenda for the country. IPv6 was listed as the 6th point in this agenda.
You can find highlights of the Ministry's account of this:

 

" Keeping in view the global trends in IPv6, DIT took initiative towards IPv6 transition and a National Roadmap for IPv6 implementation which includes an awareness building programme, research and development, test bed projects on IPv6 migration and deployment by Network providers."
