Hi,
Lately I have been having issues while updating. Regularly I encounter something like this:

So I checked, and there is not a single mirror in India!

this is true. so, from above list, you need to decide which repo is closest to you and use that for your source.
This is surprising since several technology institutes used to host Fedora mirrors.
.. you could ask them, tho you may find that some admin in computer department got tire of keeping up with such because he is an ms fanboy, :-)
or, who ever was maintaining has graduated, left campus and no one else wants to maintain repo server.
Does anyone have any ideas what happened to them?
.. not the slightest, other than as above.
Any suggestions as to how I can instruct dnf to use mirrors closer to home (e.g. prefer south-east Asia over Asia-Pacific) would be greatly appreciated.
.. *SWAG*
your post seems to boil down to;
where are dnf repo files and how do i re-point a repo file?
1st - read; http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html#repolist-command-label http://yum.baseurl.org/
2nd - dnf repo files are located in directory /etc/yum.repos.d.
3rd - re-point repo file.
after reading, open a browser and move view to /etc/yum.repos.d, look for all files with name Fedora-*.repo. rename them to Fedora-*.repo.old
edit each file and replace current url in "mirrorlist=" with url with that of closest repo in mirrors list.
Thanks for any ideas.

i do not guaranty this to be best or correct procedure. you can try it or wait until someone does post what is proper or easier way.
therefore, you are on your own as to what you do. if something goes wrong, do not blame me. you have been warned.
if you do try what i have suggested, *CYOA - cover your own ass* make a backup before you attempt.
much luck to you.
