Apparently that list was compiled at IIT Kanpur sometime in the earlier 2000s. I have not been able to find source information, and the list is problematic as an actual frequency list since some words were excluded (corpus linguists sometimes exclude so-called "stop words"). For example और (aur: and) is not in the list, or ने (ne: ergative case marker), etc. An updated list could be based on IIT Kanpur work by Verma et al. "Shabd: A psycholinguistic database for Hindi" (2022: Behaviour Research Methods, 54:830–844.), this is at least a stable reference, and the data can be downloaded at the OSF (Open Science Framework): Shabd: Word Frequencies for Hindi Words.
