Although the satellite station BBC World Service was available in INDIA in the early 1990s, the 1993 and 1994 repeats of Doctor Who were not included in the feed that reached that part of Asia.
According to the IMDB, the TV Movie was shown in INDIA on Saturday, 25 September 2004, however, we do not have access to any Indian newspapers to confirm this.
Of note, the New Series has been available in India since May 2015; none of the news reports about this mention the TV movie being shown ten years earlier.
