Situtation in India for newbies

Can anyone shed some light on the current situation in India in terms of recruitment. Are the days of hiring a newbie just out flying school with 300 TT over or long gone?

From the rumour mills it seems that the DGCA is planning to let Indian nationals with an ICAO/FAA lisence and a SELF SPONSERED TR to fly in India without conversions. Is there any truth to this?

The media seems to think there is still a huge shortage of FO's, and students are still pouring into flight schools allover the world. Should they be preparing for a huge dissoppointment? Can someone in the know make an educated guess as to how many Trainee FO's are going to be recruited, in India in the next two years?

Any clarifications will be appriciated.
