go into Google Webmaster tools and see if you have the option of HRlang
How new is .in it was .co.in
if you do targeted at the country you wish to Rank within
Do you have the correct language setup is your content copy written for the country are targeting?
here is a list of TLD's that do not need to have you tell Google where you want them rank. If you do not have any Hindi and your server's IP address is being hosted out of the United States Google could be picking up on these other signals.

Hi,
I just noticed that http://www.homeadda-sobhaaspirationalhomes.in/ is ranking well in google.com but not in google.co.in. What might be the possible reason?

I am suprised that there is an heading called "price" - consequently there shoulld stay "Sobha Aspirational Homes Price". That really does not mean you should do that!
For me it looks like a lot "Sobha Aspirational Homes" and a bit "coming soon". I think that could be to much. I don't know when I last found a site in google, when I searched for a keyword phrase, wich has the exact phrase in so many headings and alt-tags. It looks to me like you have made the site for a google bot, but not for me.
One funny thing is, this Q+A allready is ranked better in google.de. And each website on page one looks a lot more natural to me.
By the way: Sobha greenacres (the .com site in the footer) is linked with "Sobha Aspirational Homes" - thats not what you wanted to do I am sure.

Can you give me a snapshot of your analytics? Also I don't want to alarm you but Google's pigeon effects sites having to do with real estate really hit the United States hard. Now it's been rolled out to Canada and the UK I am not sure if it is an NDA had but I'm guessing it might have just hit.

The URL itself is extremely hard to remember but that probably did not do it. You do not have very many back links and local real estate is becoming similar to organic search

make sure the site conforms to everything here

I hope that you have not been hit and I wish you luck let me know if I can do any more help,

Ranking without use of keywords on page & without use of matching anchor text??
Howdy folks. So, here is a dilemma. One of competitors of ours is somehow ranking for a keyphrase "houston chronicle obituaries" without any usage of these keywords on the page, without any full or partial anchor text match ("chronicle" is not used anywhere). The rest of competitiors' rankings make sense. Any ideas?

Why is Google ranking irrelevant / not preferred pages for keywords?
Over the past few months we have been chipping away at duplicate content issues. We know this is our biggest issue and is working against us. However, it is due to this client also owning the competitor site. Therefore, product merchandise and top level categories are highly similar, including a shared server. Our rank is suffering major for this, which we understand. However, as we make changes, and I track and perform test searches, the pages that Google ranks for keywords never seems to match or make sense, at all. For example, I search for "solid scrub tops" and it ranks the "print scrub tops" category. Or the "Men Clearance" page is ranking for keyword "Women Scrub Pants". Or, I will search for a specific brand, and it ranks a completely different brand. Has anyone else seen this behavior with duplicate content issues? Or is it an issue with some other penalty? At this point, our only option is to test something and see what impact it has, but it is difficult to do when keywords do not align with content.

Switch hosting to be closer to site visitors, and 99% dropped from rankings?
Last week I decided to switch for a UK server to a US one at Hostgator since most of my visitors are from the US. About nine hours later 99% of my pages disappeared from google rankings, only a few non-relevant pages are at position 100-200. All decent (1000-2000 word) articles on specific topics, are gone. These pages were getting 2-3 minutes per user of readership and a low bounce rate, so I think they were pretty good quality. Does anyone think it's possible I got accidentally added on a blacklisted IP? Or why would something like this happen. Since then, I've tried switching back to the old IP for 3 days, that didn't work. Now I've filed a reinclusion request with the details. Has anyone had a similar experience? What can possibly cause this massive drop in rankings and traffic? Any help is much appreciated!

So what exactly does Google consider a "natural" link profile?
As part of my company's ongoing SEO effort we have been analyzing our link profile. A colleague of mine feels that we should be targeting at least 50% branded anchor text. He claims this is what search engines consider "natural" and we should not go past a threshold of 50% optimized anchor text to make sure we avoid any penalties or decrease in rankings. 50% brand term anchor text seems too high to me. I pointed out that most of our competitors who outrank us have a much greater percentage of optimized links. I've also read other industry experts state that somewhere in the range of 30% branded anchor text would be considered natural. What percent of branded vs. optimized anchor text do you feel looks "natural" and what do you base your opinion on?

Keyword Ranking Question
I have recently hired a SEO company to help with our keyword. My question is what are the best tools to use to verify what that are reporting. I can do an unpersonalized search, but I am likely still getting the my local results. I have been using the SEOmoz rank tracker in the past but for some reason it is not able to retrieve results over the past day or so. Are there any other good tools to check ranking for an exact url at the for non-localized, non personalized results? Thanks for the suggestions.
