Word in India for transport hubs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

termini

'transport hubs' is the definition.
(plural 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' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for termini that I've seen before include "Main railway stations" , "Railway ends" , "limits of service" , "End-points" , "Stops" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
