Pretty simple: There's no nseindia.pm in Finance::Quote. There's an IndiaFunds.pm, try

gnc-fq-dump indiamutual foo

where 'foo' is the symbol for your stock or fund. There's no guarantee that it will work, the site (http://www.amfiindia.com/ <http://www.amfiindia.com/>) may not support your stock, may have changed their screen, or may no longer exist.
