I imagine IE is more the default browser when people buy PC's or laptops. FF and Chrome are browsers out of choice. I can't imagine lay people in India (my friends and relatives or people in my HR department) installing FF or wanting to check out other browsers. So it is remarkable that FF is #1.
Until other browsers can match FF's vimperator/pentadactyl, there's no way I can seriously consider moving. (I've tried Chrome, Opera and Safari)

Agree, I don't think StatCounter data can give a good representation of Indian internet population
Google did a pretty extensive ad campaign on TV and print in India for Chrome - recently. Maybe that has given them a push.
Tough to explain FF's performance though. Surprising.
