I don't know how other papers in India discuss peak oil. I do know however that in my two visits to India I was very impressed with the seriousness of its newspapers and the very adult way in which they cover major issues -- characteristic of only the top 3 or 4 papers in the US. Indian papers cover geopolitical issues in very straightforward terms and convey the impression that, there is a wide audience of people there who really want to be informed. It puts us to shame.

sunlight, indian newpapers are heavily biased and imho are pathetic. the widely circulated 'times of india' is popularly called toiletpaper of india or tabloid of india. did you know that toi had a policy where it put its editorial for sale to the highest bidder. most indian newspapers are similar sellouts.
the indian express is well known for its spin on news items.
the hindu is popularly referred to as 'the chinese national newspaper based in chennai'.
the few sane voices are submerged in garbage. i doubt you read the regional language papers to arrive at your opinion.

regarding oil, china has outbid india in a few big projects in the last couple of months and the oil pipelines are not feasible with hostile neighbours. so there is surely a concern.
