How about Antec Thermal Paste? Seems it is the only one available at online stores in India and costs Rs.600-700, while it costs only $ 2-3 abroad.

You may get Antec but most likely, against order only. I enquired at the dealer at Trivandrum who said any Antec product can be supplied within one or two days.
Arctic Silver 5, you are not likely to find ready stock.

Get this if u can *www.arctic-cooling.com/further_prod2.php?idx=60. Equal to or better than ARCTIC SILVER 5. Availablity maybe an issue. Got mine through my bro in the US. Or else get the ARCTIC SILVER 5 as others have suggested.
