This is a great news.  Many thanks to you, Baishampayan.

Mirroring CTAN is one of the best ways to help people using TeX. Since
CTAN is the official repository of all TeX packages released for public
conumption, a mirror in India for CTAN will be much useful for TeX users
in India.

Thanks for your efforts and wish you all success.
