Welcome to Ecomodder! 25 km/L is about 59 mpg (US). With a 1.3L diesel that seems very do-able to me. There are 6 diesel cars on out top 10 list above that, and many have larger engines than you.

That being said, having been to India myself, it should be noted that "city traffic" has a COMPLETELY different definition in India than it does in the US or Europe. The word "chaos" usually applies. How in the world you would hypermile in those conditions is beyond me. I guess it might be possible if you're in a lesser traveled area. If there's a bright side, I guess it's that nobody really cares if you obey the traffic laws (stop signs, etc.) in India!

Go ahead and load your vehicle details into the Garage and start a fuel log and then we can see your progress.
