Ideally, all researchers would upload their works to an open access repository. If that were already happening, there would be no need for a country-specific arxiv. An Indian arxiv may motivate people in the Indian research ecosystem to upload their works as a matter of national pride. I may not sympathize with the motivation, but as long as the papers are freely accessible, I have no reason to complain.
