You are not going to be able to purchase an iPhone 14 or an iPhone 15 in the US that has a SIM card tray. All iPhone 14 and 15 models, in the US, are only eSIM capable. If you purchase on of these models, then ensure that you have a carrier in India that will provide eSIM service and the US model will work in India.


You can purchase an iPhone 13 model or older to have SIM card tray capability.
