Well, if you look at a comparison graph of the countries directly adjoining India, the differences are pretty stark.

That's the magnitude of new detected infections. Pakistan has conducted 1/4th tests per-capita compared to India. 1/6th for Bangladesh. So I don't think there's much to see there. I'm comparing the inflection points and curves on the graphs.
Tge inflection points for the latest outbreaks lag India and are quite probably due to cross-border leakage.
Cross-border leakage with Bangladesh? Possibly. With Pakistan? Hardly.

All of these countries require a recent negative test prior to arrival. The Central Asian countries show inflection at pretty much the same time, barring Uzbekistan which is a week late. However, India has a lot more relative traffic going on with Sri Lanka and they and Maldives, both South of India, inflected a whole month later.
