A Google search for "Indian instrument samples" will yield some results but there's a difference between buying ready-made NSMP samples and getting samples in a WAV file where you have to make your own NSMP sample. Perhaps folks here can suggest some good companies to consider. Good luck to you!

There are in fact just a few in the Nord Sample Library, for example here https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... nic-string you can find a Indian Santoor, an Indian Surmantal, a Sitar...

But I am afraid that the main limitation will be due to the different temperament used in Indian music, since Nord keyboards do not support alternate temperaments (so either you sample those instruments key by key in the original temperament, or...) and in general reproducing acoustic instruments other than Piano is not what Nord synths do best, with the limits of their sample player engines (monolayer, no support for articulations or velocity switching etc...)
