Please DO NOT confuse India Vix with stock-specific (or index-specific) volatility.
If you are trading, say HDFC options, you need to understand whether the volatility of HDFC stock is high or low. Similarly, if you are trading BANKNIFTY index options, then you need to look at BANKNIFTY index volatility and ascertain if it is high or not.

INDIA VIX is a good indicator of the OVERALL volatility of the Indian stock market as a whole.

However, it SHOULD NOT be assumed to apply for all kinds of stocks/index options.
