Check this database out to find out, although a quick look didn't find a match for your number - did you type it correctly?

I'm not sure that Singer ever manufactured machines in India? I don't find any information to suggest they did. Information about the Singer factories can be found via this page
https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/
Therefore if the machine was definitely made in India, it wasn't made by the original Singer company, and is likely a very good reproduction by another company..
A picture would be lovely

I seem to have seen a pic somewhere of a sewing machine shop in India (taken recently) which contains many Singer look -a-like machines. After WW2 a lot of copies were made in other countries - Japan was one of them.

I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

Not a lot I'm afraid - about £20 - £40 dependent on condition.
