Recently I've started exploring some indie music, and my favorite source so far is Insomnia Radio. So then I started hunting for good sources of Indian indie music. Here are two that I've found so far, if you know of any more or have any recommendations, please leave a note in the comments!
Radioverve
Radioverve is an Internet radio – they stream “independent” Indian music 24×7. They provide several different channels. The main channel serves a mix of all different kinds of music, but if you are so inclined, you can listen to one of the more targeted channels. Currently they have channels for Rock, Gospel, Konkani, Metal, Easy, Classical and (soon) Folk. No podcasts though.
Tempostand
Tempostand seems to be shaping up like Insomnia Radio for the Indian indie scene. They are very very new – the site went live on April 15th this year! There are several ways you can enjoy the music they put out: check out their podcast feed, or just listen to music right on the website.
I've already discovered some really cool stuff through them, most notably the Brown Indian Band. Strangely though their podcast feed doesn't contain all the music thats available on the website – please fix this guys!

*@arun*: thanks for the pointer! I’m checking it out now. Split seems to be focused on Rock only though.
