But sometimes podcasting has been neglected by Internet abusers, while some radio stations have decided to broadcast their information as podcasts.

Broadcasting through the net (either streaming or podcast) would only open up a different net-struck audience, for most of whom the PC is an extension of their body. The low cost involved in podcasts will certainly encourage community radios like HAM more than anyone. I run a community radio which was first covered by DNA newspaper and CNN IBN which runs on the same concept. you may check http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1083008 the major constraint i feel is access to good bandwidth for downloading and then hearing it on your music player.

With broadband still not rampant and bandwidth a valuable resource, I don't see an average Indian preferring podcasts over radios. Considering the fact that a radio reception will cost him nothing(it's in-built even in the cheapest phones), as compared to downloading and then listening a podcast on an MP3 player (specialised hardware), it will take some time for the Podcast fever to catch in India Well, I don’t see this happening in the near future.

They can easily monetize it too and it will be useful to users too as they can listen to live radio through internet.. e.g. I can listen to Radio Mirchi, Mumbai even at Bangalore (or a remote area, where there is no FM station).. as Bangalore radio stations play regional songs most of the time. On googling, you can find Live radio streaming for Radio City Dubai (though illegal)...
