Looks cheap, probably weighs a ton, too. Can't you find anything better? I'm sure that "big box store" bikes in India are just as awful as the ones they sell here. Garbage....

When buying a very inexpensive bike, it is best to get the simplest bike available. The front shock on that bike is a huge liability---it won't absorb much shock, will weigh a ton, and will be the first thing to break.
You best bet is to get a rigid bike---one with no suspension. You will likely get many more miles out of a simpler bike ... and no matter how a bike looks on the showroom floor, it looks terrible broken down on the side of the road.
