Hey guys, I'm struggling to find a definitive answer regarding using duplicate content on ccTLD sites.

Our xyz.com site ranks well for most of our industry niche keywords, we will now be creating xyz.in website - duplicating most of the content, off course the American English will be tweaked to Indian English. Does Google penalize duplicate content in this situation? If so what are the best strategies that we need to adopt to avoid the negative effect. Thanks!
