Dear Anil!

Try to import the ERDAS .img file with r.in.gdal into a new location, 
i.e. use "r.in.gdal input=xxx location=yyy output=zzz". That should 
import the .img file into a location with the name yyy. This location 
is created by r.in.gdal and has the projection parameters specified 
in the .img file (The image will be in the PERMANENT folder). Than, 
if you need to do so, you can transfer it to any projection you want 
to use. That worked for me, at least. Good luck!

Henning
