Something which I heard long back.
Never followed with my petrol car in India, but followed in US.

When we start the engine, the rpm is slightly higher than the idle rpm(for Swift D idle warm rpm is 800, while at start it touches 900+)
Allow it to come to warm idle rpm (800 in this case)

Is this true? Can that be a bench mark than 30 sec or 1 min idling?
I normally see that it takes more than 1 min for rpm to settle down.
