That's very good news!

Any information as to the date this will start?

How will these be issued?

Will the prices be the same as .in domains?

Be very wary here.

Go for the very premium names in the Indian languages as they will have some value. Secondary names will take a very long time to achieve any value.

The .com/.net of all good IDN India names have long gone and they will be your competition.

This of course is simply my opinion.

Out of curiosity, by "long gone" what year(s) do you mean?

I read the DNA article and I am not clear whether it will be new domain extensions or CDAC will map the Indian Language Scripts to existing Domains?
Here is the Quote from the DNA Article.
In India, the Centre for Advanced Computing (C-DAC), which has its headquarters in Pune, is ready with the technology to effect the change for Indians.

“So far, we had control only over websites with the suffix .in. This suffix will soon be replaced with .bharat in the scheduled Indian languages,”
said Mahesh Kulkarni, group coordinator, C-DAC GIST (graphics and intelligence based script technology).
Once domain names in Indian scripts come into existence, Google could be written as www .google.bharat (in Indian scripts) and C-DAC: Centre for Development of Advanced Computing as www. cdac.bharat
Indian scripts would also be enabled for suffixes such as .org and .co
