I don't think it is really a case of TLD is more important than hosting IP. But these 2 factors are without a doubt key factors in local rank. However the backlink's TLD's and hosting servers are of key importance if we are talking about google.co.in where 'india only' results were not selected. Although the IP address and and TLD has an increased weight it is still the linking that plays the key role in the SERPS.
