There are thousands of web hosting companies in India. But majority of them are reseller of some US based web hosting providers. Choosing a web hosting company based in India with local servers has many advantages. Local Indian companies provide several payment options. Some of them are as follows:
1.You can make payment through credit cards, debit cards, netbanking, offline bank transfer, through cheque and demand draft or even visit their office and pay in cash.
2. You may get customer support in a your language.Indian web hosting providers local toll free numbers and landline numbers from contacting them.
3.Search engines prefer those sites which are hosted localy for searches related local keywords.That means if your site is about India related topics, search engine give more weightage to your site if its servers are located in India.
4. You site will load faster when used by local users.
Here I am providing the list of top 6 web hosting companies of India:

3.BigRock
5.eWebguru
6.CtrlS
These companies provide cheap and reliable hosting. The list is based on my own research. I have scanned different forums, blogs, review sites and site of these companies before compiling this list. While SpeedHost is smallest of them, CtrlS is one of the biggest hosting providers. CtrlS provides its services to large companies. And Hostgator India is the Indian venture of Hostgator USA. BigRock is new venture of Directii, the famous Indian Internet company, famous for being one of the largest domain name registrars.
Anyways, before chosing a web hosting provider, always do some research on your own. Ask your friends who have purchased hosting for giving suggestions. Read reviews by hosting customers on different sites. Web hosting is like a room where your website will live. As nobody would like to live in a less secured place, so is the case with your website. The company must be genuine, well established, should provide good after sell support, should not have hidden charges etc.
