    Is there away to remove your site from Google in India or block access to your site from India without effecting your SERP anywhere else.

    Have you tried Google's Geo Targeting feature in Google Webmaster Tools?

    Yes. Do geo targeting. Pick your targeted countries in google webmaster tool.

    First of all why do you want to remove your site from Google India....


    even if you remove your site from Google India you may get hits from India as we always search through google.com.... and not google.co.in...

    you may do better by IP blocking , in other words block certain country specific IPs via various means.

    I agree with sleuth1! It is much better for you just do block IP those you do not want to come on your website. It is much better either to block your website in google.co.in or google.com in india.

    If you get hits from Google.co.in . you won't have any trouble,
    but if you are targeting ur website to have more preference in other local se lets say, google.co.uk rather than google.co.in than,
    you can go ahead with Google webmaster tools and set your targeted geo location.

    Only assumption but one of the rational reasons is that some affiliate/advertise comapny force it on him/her.

    Not sure, but I think you can't block google in india to show your site.

    Why not display a diiferent page to the users from India? for example "Sorry this site is not available in your region".

    This can easily be achieved with "iptocountry" http://www.phptutorial.info/iptocountry/

    If you are trying to block specific people using your site they will always find a way around it by using ip cloaking.
