Guilhem,

I'm sorry, but ogr2ogr does not appear to support creating .ind files
for mapinfo datasets.  The capability does exist in the underlying MITAB
library so if you wanted it badly enough you might be able to modify the
mapinfo driver, or perhaps build a custom mitab utility to do this.

Best regards,
