Yes. However, it's hard for a domainer to constantly manage/update/upgrade a large number of mini-sites (unless they have a team helping them). A few mini-sites is definitely manageable but if you have hundreds of mini-sites it's going to be challenging.

Yes, I'm well aware that generally speaking, terrible dispujte arbiters have cited parking as evidence of 'bad faith' and that often times parking aggregators can throw up TM infringing ads, which could potentially be used to jerk an otherwise generic name that has a product specific TM use...

My question is more along the lines of- is there anything specifically written in the regulations of owning India names that forbids parking, or something like that?

My concern is that I own names of Indian cities with millions of people in them and I'm not an Indian citizen. It's the sort of thing that I could see causing the "What entitles you to own that" sort of resentment, which in turn might cause people to try and take them away utilizing whatever technicality they have at their disposal... My intent is to use a scalable development scheme for each one and make them all into fully functioning websites, however, in the meantime, they all get type-ins, so I have them parked. If there is something about India names that forbids parking in general, I'll just 404 them or put up a non-commercial lander.
