IST is 5.5 hours ahead of UTC so the expected activation times are 0930 to 1230 UTC.

Sadly, these are not SOTA summits so no points for anyone but a report and some photographs would be very much appreciated here I think.

All of India in one Association would be a mammoth task, I think it would be better to have an Association for each state, like the USA. You should form a team and work with the SOTA summit team, the biggest problem is likely to be availability of good mapping, since we will need summit and col data to define the valid SOTA summits. Read the “Finding More Summits” items in the Blog on the SOTA website.
