I'd suggest having a look at the United Indians in New Zealand facebook page. New Zealand has a bustling art scene, so once you're settled and creating, and if you get actively involved in the artistic community, I'm sure you'll get to meet some great people. A good first step may even be taking a class in a medium you're not familiar with.
In the meantime, have a look at our New Zealand guide to preempt any other challenges you might come across. It starts with Moving to New Zealand
I had the privilege of touring the North Island for a month in 2008, and I really loved the country. I'm sure you'll end up having a great time.
Hi Mehul,
I have moved to NP only recently and am still looking for a suitable house. But I can tell you that there is a substantial no. of Indians here. Two shops selling Indian grocery and a few Indian restaurants too. Hope this helps.
All the best for your move.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how big the Indian community in New Plymouth is but there is a substantial Indian population in New Zealand as a whole.
The best way to start answering your questions is our guide to New Zealand, which starts with Moving to New Zealand. This includes a Cost of Living in New Zealand section.
Good luck!
