Crossword Genius

Stations for period in India (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

termini

'stations' is the definition.
(terminus is a kind of station)

'period in india' is the wordplay.
'period' becomes 'term' (term is a kind of period**).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'term'+'in'+'i'='TERMINI'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for termini that I've seen before include "End points of rail or bus routes" , "Line ends" , "ends of lines" , "End-of-line stations" , "Stops" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
