Well no one can be sure about the exact number but my guess would be you could take 1300 (as in the number of people who applied for the Air India ad out in Feb) to be a ballpark figure... Since its been a couple of months I guess you can add another 200 who must have converted their licenses by now....
And as it is does it really matter my friend as to how many are out there?? Like my insturctor always told me it doesnt matter how many people apply for the job, if there are 20 vacancies it doesnt matter whether 200 apply or 2000 apply, your job my boy; is to darn well make sure you are in the top 20!
Cheers...
