Crossword Genius

Possibly new to India, or across the country (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nationwide

'across the country' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'possibly new to india' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'new'+'to'+'india'='newtoindia'
'newtoindia' is an anagram of 'NATIONWIDE'.

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for nationwide that I've seen before include "Across the whole country" , "for all of us" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
