Hey Imran -- absolutely! You can import any data for backtesting or live trading. You can see examples of this in several of the QCU algorithms -- you just need to provide a class to read and interpret the data:
How Do I Import Yahoo Data?
How Do I Import Futures Data?
How Do I Use Live Custom Data?
You can also see an example of importing NIFTY (Indian markets) here:

In addition, if you want to move the imported data to another location on your local server, you can change the "data-folder" attribute in config.json. For example, i keep my minute data imported from GoogleFinance on my H:\ drive.
// engine
//"data-folder": "../../../Data/",
"data-folder": "H:\\GoogleFinanceData\\",
Naturally, this applies to back test on a local machine clone of Lean. For back test in the QC cloud, this technique will not work.
