Suppose a GoI website is geo-blocked such that only the citizens of India can access it.

Now that a global vpn company has removed its servers out of India, does it mean its customers (while using that vpn service) is blocked from accessing the said website?

Or is there some other implication here?

Curious to know.

They'll register (or purchase) IP address blocks that are marked as Indian in the various GeoIP databases, then assign those IP addresses to servers hosted outside India.
