Via John McCormac's blog at http://blog.whoisireland.com/2008/10/12/2008-cctld-domain-name-registration-statistics-posted , I came across some handy domain name registration statistics. You can find a chart that shows the number of ccTLD versus gTLD registrations for 2008.
You can view the chart at:
HosterStats.com: gTLD and ccTLD Domain Name Counts 2008
There are no stats for .in registrations.
While some of the registries have yet to reply to requests for statistics, there is a very interesting trend developing in the numbers of ccTLD versus gTLD registrations - without domain tasting, the indications are that as a group ccTLDs are beginning to equal and perhaps outnumber new gTLD registrations. This does not mean that the ccTLDs will overtake the gTLDs any time soon. It does mean that without domain tasting, the market in some countries has shifted towards ccTLDs. As markets develop in other countries, they reach a point where the number of local ccTLD domains will exceed the number of locally registered .com and gTLD domains. This tipping point is linked to the market and the level of broadband penetration in that country.
