There is no such thing as an International model of iPhone. iPhone is sold by region and each region has it's own unique requirements. You need to check with your carrier to make sure the phone will work with the bands in India. The phone itself will NOT be able to run Apple Intelligence, if you were hoping to use any of those features. The phone will also have no warranty in India. Should you have an issue with the phone which requires service, India sellers who are authorized to fix iPhones, often reject phones manufactured for other countries. And Apple's own warranty says Apple may restrict warranty support to the country of purchase.


If you are not yet dissuaded from buying your iPhone in China, when you live in India, it's your money and you can do as you please. Just don't be yet another person who doesn't take the advice to buy your iPhone in the country you live and will use it, and come here complaining if you have an issue with the phone in India.
