I suspect the 15% comes from their interviews with the ministers of the five churches; I know at least the Catholic and Anglican church keep membership records. If that's the case, though, it wouldn't include the numerous house churches.
As for the Indian churches, there are about a dozen different denominations of Indian Christians here in Doha -- Mar Thomists, Syro Malabar, etc. etc. They'll all be sharing a building, except for one denomination that hates one of the other denominations so much it's decided to band with the Coptics instead. And, of course, the Anglican Church here is actually largely Indian, too.
