Got this in Email yesterday, copy-pasting the whole thing:
It seems they have taken some servers in Ctrl S Data Center, Hyderabad. The most surprizing thing is they haven't changed their plans, & as everyone knows bandwidth in India is so expensive. Hope they don't incur losses or start overselling which would suck:no:
If there is any existing HostGator customer, please take the trial & inform us how is the service. I also might shift my servers from US to India, if the service is good

We are proud to announce the launch of HostGator India, Web Hosting Services, Reseller Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Dedicated Servers by HostGator!
We are even offering a free 7 day test/trial of our shared HostGator India accounts (for you, our current HostGator clients only). Simply email sales@hostgator.in to take advantage of this!
HostGator India will allow our current and future clients the opportunity to receive local hosting with servers in India, as well as localized support from our new office in India as well for HostGator India clients! Our Indian operations have already started and our Indian office is located in Nashik, Maharashtra. The Indian office works 24x7 and provides technical as well as sales and billing support to our HostGator.In client base.
We offer the same top notch performance servers now hosted locally in India an on our owned IP addresses. The latency to the Indian servers from within India and Asia is very low as you can see in the image below.
The network path is also very short and you can see that it never travels out of India, so an international broken backbone will never affect access to your sites.
The access times for sites hosted on such low latency network from within India and the Asian region is very fast. Also other account functions such as access to Cpanel/WHM, Emails, FTP etc see very fast speeds compared to overseas hosted websites.
Our Services:
The plans offered on our Indian site Web Hosting Services, Reseller Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Dedicated Servers by HostGator are exactly same as our US site Web Hosting Services, Reseller Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Dedicated Servers by HostGator. The resource limits and everything remain the same even on the Indian servers. We are one of the pioneers of unlimited hosting and we are happy to offer the same plan limits even in India. The plan prices are also the same except for the fact that we are legally bound to change Service tax charged @ 10.30% for billing via our Indian operations.
Our Shared web hosting plans can be seen at Web Hosting - Shared cPanel Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting plans at Reseller Hosting Plans - Web Hosting Packages with cPanel and WHM . We offer VPS as well which can be seen at VPS Hosting | Linux VPS Servers with cPanel from HostGator and our India based dedicated servers can be seen at Dedicated Servers - Dedicated Web Hosting with Linux or FreeBSD .
