This is incorrect... All ISP except Cable Operators provide Public IP Addresses to their subscribers from dynamic IP Pool, including Dial-up users, DSL Users.
I apologize, I fail to understand this.
If I connect through a dial-up (considering MTNL's 172231, the IP address assigned to my computer is something from the pool of 202.159.x.x or 203.94.x.x or might vary. Agreed
If I have a Cable Operator's internet connection, I connect through a private IP. Agreed. Net4India, in my area provides internet connections and subscribers have IP of the range 172.16.x.x
BUT, I have MTNL's triband now. My IP was automatically assigned initially as 192.168.1.2 (using DHCP) and was changed for some odd reasons a few weeks before to the format of 192.168.x.x.
How do I consider 192.168.x.x under public IP if 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x and 192.168.x.x are private IP ranges?

The DSL Router you are using must support Bridge Mode. Put the router in Bridge more and on your computer use pppoe to connect to the Internet.
Now whenever you connect to the Internet, you will be assigned a public IP on interface ppp0
How do I consider 192.168.x.x under public IP if 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x and 192.168.x.x are private IP ranges?
Hope the above clarifies your doubt. With regards,
