Actually the opposite has to be done for modern turbo diesels(even the indica turbo)
After starting keep revs low (below 1200) for first 1 minute
Before switching off keep revs low for one minute.
As for carbon deposit in exaust pipe this problem is solved by once a month water treatment
Fill exaust pipe with water, and then rev engine hard. Washes out all the carbon, but make sure you dont do it in your backyard.
Occaisonal revving up also clears the soot and also takes care of irritating drivers behind you who keep on honking at red lights.
