Well, I suppose the target audience hereof is Indians; ipso facto, it makes sense to use lakhs. Additionally, I'd argue most people are familiar enough with lakhs. I'm American, never been to India, and still am aware of them.

Regardless, if they're going to use "local" units they should make it clear what these are. Adding a key explaining that 1 lakh = 100,000 is all that's required. I appreciate this particular graph was probably produced for domestic use only, but the WWW means that once online, data can travel around the world.

No doubt a key could be helpful, yes.
