Hi @Lohitvignesh Narayanaswamy

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Numbers can be purchased on eligible Azure subscriptions and in geographies where Communication Services is legally eligible to provide them. The capabilities and numbers that are available to you depend on the country/region that you're operating within, your use case, and the phone number type that you've selected. These capabilities vary by country/region due to regulatory requirements.

Please check this link- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/concepts/numbers/sub-eligibility-number-capability which contains a dropdown for all eligible locations and India is not in the list for now
