Well, I'm not Indian but I can see it being a separate dialect, much like American English. For instance, an Indian might say "I have a doubt" instead of "I have a question". And as you mentioned, there is an accent, just like with American English.
That's true, but that's why I mentioned "specifically listed" in my comment - the same things apply to Australian English for eg., and possibly to Filipino English and South African English and many others. Indian English is the only _dialect_ mentioned in the list, the rest are languages, which made me curious.
The reason is probably something pragmatic, like perhaps a large enough corpus was available for that specifically.

Adding Indian English was definitely doing the needful.
