Mostly because it was released very early. And for a country like India, it may prove advantageous in coming months. We do not have any vaccine for Covid19 and can't be in lock-down forever. We have to learn to live with the virus for few months at least. Apps like these can help in contact tracing while allowing many to live normally.
Also I personally think the permissions(location and bluetooth) are fine for an app like this to really function. I have read someone mentioned on HN that these platforms prove their worth when >60% people are using them(I maybe remembering wrong though).
