Without any idea of the specification and, the quantum of subsidy that the GoI is planning to put in, it might be difficult to arrive at a conclusion on the $35 price.
Even a China mobile sold without duty and taxes is not that cheap.
Actually, there are already available things like this: http://www.google.com/products?q=google+android+tablet&scoring=p
Which are for $100. Like Sankarshan mentioned, it's all about the specifications and the subsidy. I mean, one can port android to a glorified Palm Zire (which can be bought sub $50) and call that a tablet PC too, but you won't get much work done on it.
