@karanjain06 that is possible, you should also try to test at different times of day, maybe you'll see a pattern. But a user in Mumbai will always have better pings to some servers. In general South India will have better pings to Chennai so their pings to South East Asia will be better.

Yeah I tried many times same fucked up.
@Gaurav15 I am pretty sure that’s not the case as before Airtel fibre, I was on Airtel V-fiber copper based ADSL plans and used to get much better pings to Mumbai and Singapore. More recently even Tata Sky and ACT gave me 10-20 ms pings to Mumbai but I abandoned them for Airtel and now I am stuck for the time being.
Speedtests to Singapore barely hit 50 Mbps for me on different servers which were maxing out my earlier connections. My only hope is that these are initial teething issues as fiber is newly setup here and will resolve after some time because explaining these things to customer care has brought me no luck.

It's just not possible to get 40ms to SGP from Delhi. The best in India would be 35-40ms from Chennai. I get 70ms to SGP because my ping to chennai is 30-40ms.
Is ping only dependant on distance or routing plays a role too? Is it possible that some city’s internet traffic get routed through Mumbai gateway and others through New Delhi for North India?
I am saying that because in my earlier connection when my pings to Mumbai were lower, internationally also they were much lower but now though my pings to New Delhi are around 10 to 12 ms, the international pings are worse off?
P.S. - I may be 100% wrong with this, noob here.
@ravenous24 international traffic goes through undersea cables. So chennai to singapore, mumbai to Europe etc are the routes. There may be others like Kolkata, but Delhi certainly not.

Routing does play a role but only in Increasing the ping. The ping varies directly with the distance between cities, that's why I told you "the best" in India would be from Chennai as it is closest to Singapore. Most of India's traffic to US and EU is via Mumbai so if you have low ping to Mumbai, you will have low ping to the western regions. Since I'm not close to Mumbai, and my ping to Mumbai and Chennai both is 40ms and that to Singapore is 70ms, I can get better ping to USA just by connecting via Singapore(30ms improvement).
