ISRO today launched a service called Bhuvan which is similar but more superior than Google Earth.
The new site is released a beta version. The address of the site is http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/
From the site
A Geoportal of Indian Space Research Organisation showcasing Indian Imaging Capabilities in Multi-sensor, Multi-platform and Multi-temporal domain. The portal gives a gateway to explore and discover virtual earth in 3D space with specific emphasis on Indian region.
The new mapping service Bhuvan is a Sanskrit word of earth. It will allow users to have a closer look at any part of the subcontinent. Bhuvan will provide the pictures of objects as small as a car on the road to build three-dimensional map of the world via ISRO’s seven remote sensing satellites.
For accessing Bhuvan you have to first Register in the site. After that you have to login and download a browser plugin. The size of the plugin will be about 10.76MB
This is good

The degree of resolution showcased is based on points of interest and popularity, but most of the Indian terrain is covered upto at least six meters of resolution with the least spatial resolution being 55 meters.
