By the way, I forgot to include this in my question; which is recommendable for the typical India road - tubeless types or the usual sort?

If you're gonna have alloy wheels on your car, then there's no harm fitting them with tubeless tyres.

I'm wondering about the impact of a road (if it can be called that!) with lots of potholes and maybe even a section of unmade road (read a bed of stones!) on tubeless types.

Any tyre for that matter is prone to get damaged if driven harshly on bad roads. Tubeless tyres aren't that delicate.

And do tubeless tyres get punctured? If yes, can a typical tyre shop in some small town fix this? I wouldn't want to go into the countryside knowing that they can't be fixed easily......

Well, if a nail or any other penetrant object enters the tyre, the tyre wont lose air as long as the object keeps the puncture wound blocked.
It's always a good thing to keep a tube at hand, since it can be used in the tubeless tyre as a temporary arrangement until you get to a service station capable of handling and mending tubeless tyres. Plus, you get a company provided mending kit with instructions n all.
