I doubt you will want to do that. 

Since most indic scripts have glyph forms / combining 
forms which may cause vertical stacking. Since uniform
spacing between lines is desirable, I guess the font 
makers have put in too much vertical space for the font.

If a font is taking up too much vertical space, it may be 
a problem with the font's design too.
