It's quite possible there's another problem with apt; it does seem odd
that your network would work properly except when it comes time to use apt.
I think I'd try a different mirror, perhaps one closer to home. You can
find a list of mirrors for stable here:
http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ (and many of these will probably work
for testing also). It may be that you're just having trouble reliably
getting to debian.org from New Delhi. I see similar problems when my
local ISP is congested (university, when the students are out of class
and downloading the latest goodies, etc).
