Word in India for bus depots, perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

termini

'bus depots perhaps' is the definition.
(bus depot is a kind of terminus)

'word in india' is the wordplay.
'word' becomes 'term' (term is a kind of word).
'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 "Ends, extremities" , "End-points" , "Line ends" , "Starting points, limits" , "Railway ends" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
