I am facing with same problem. From the errors you can see that you are using the Ubuntu Server in India. Change the update server to something other than India.
Go to Setting > Software & update --- under Ubuntu Software tab, find the drop-down list to choose the server for downloading updates from. Choose main server.

Thanks for the quick reply. But this solution did not work for me. I had configured internal network earlier and now I have changed it to NAT. Does this create a problem?

There is a spelling mistake on your link on sources.list it will be present on a directory (/etc/apt/). There you will be able to see the file called sources.list and sources.list.save. Manually copy the contents of file sources.list.save to sources.list. Else use following commands on terminal.(Make sure that you logged on root permission / You need to know the administrator password).
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.save /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
I hope it will works fine..
