Without database/account ID details I cannot know for sure, but I can see what you describe happening if the replica you are hitting from India is farther from your main database depending on which region you get routed since India doesn't have a region yet.
There is a plan for optimizing the choice of the replica to be the closest but now it's just selecting the replica of your closest region.
