It looks like it but it is a very variable species ( Ceratophrys cranwelli) and there are other horned frogs ( Ceratophrys spp), all from South America: Ceratophrys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What's it doing in India, we ask! Probably exported for pets?

Sorry paul i got the answer it is a The Common Indian Toad or Common Asiatic/Asian Toad or Black-spined Toad Duttaphrynus melanostictus is a species of toad that is common in South Asia. The species grows to almost 20 cm long. The species breeds during the monsoons and the tadpoles are black. Young toads may be seen in large numbers after the monsoons.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Well, that's a relief - it wouldn't be very good for your native fauna if a South American species became established!
Thanks forthe clarification.
