What you're referring to is know as region coding for the console. Games are region coded or they can be region free, depending on the choice of the publisher. So if your console is PAL, then NTSC discs won't work in it and vice versa. Region Free titles would work in all the consoles. India has PAL region code, so if you get an Indian console and get a disc from, say US, which has a NTSC/U or NTSC/UC coding, then it won't work in your console. NTSC/J is for Japanese consoles. This regions discs are extremely difficult to be obtained.

If you're planning to get legit games from India, then get a PAL console. That way the games would be easily compatible.
