From what I understand the plant requires very specific soil conditions and climate. That doesn't mean that you *can't* I should think, however you would have to find an area with a close enough match for the plants to thrive. What those conditions are I cannot say with specificity, but I would start your research with the following links as starting points:

I doubt it, unless India has an exact growing condition for rooibos as in Cederberg. When I visited the botanical gardens in Capetown, we were lucky 2 have the director with us & I asked if he could point out a rooibos plant 2 us at the garden. His reply was that there wasn't, as the plant could not grow anywhere else except in Cederberg mountains. Attempts were made 2 cultivate the plant in Capetown & elsewhere, but they all failed.

It would be great if India could cultivate rooibos too...

All the best!
