Darkroom suplies availability in India?

Hi everyone,

I may have the opportunity in the future to live in India for a while.
Just a brief question - does anyone know of how darkroom supplies
availability are over there? E.g. availability of chemicals, negatives and
papers? Any indians here in the newsgroups?

My wife is indian, but she is not a photo geek as me, so she has no clue

Someone back me up here, but I seem to recall that there used to be an Kodak
"student" (cheaper) film made in a plant in India. Academy? sounds right.

Hi,

I live in Bangalore in India.
You can buy b/w film and printing paper in most major cities(read state
capitals).
Kodak TMAX films are available as well as another repackaged film
called Nova, 100 ASA.

As for as papers, Sterling is commonly available(only RC base, only
graded)
I have seen some Ilford MG bfiber papers in one shop in Bangalore.
Dektol, D-76 and Hypo are available.

Send an email to me if you want more details.
