Imagine Great Indian Bustard
Great pack!
I'd switch the sloth bear for the beautiful Indian giant squirrel and I'd be really happy with it. Preferably also change the Gaur for the blackbuck. Reasons being that if we get another bear, I'd prefer the south American spectacled bear, and India already has a wild bovine with the wild water buffalo.
I think your golden langur is an inspired choice! It is dazzling. The muntjac is love. A small Asian deer species, and very unique. The nilgai is a personal favorite of mine. The lion tailed macaque is an Indian icon (and the langur too, but people often forget about the langur). And the striped hyena is a great choice that will also add to the Middle East!
The flying fox is also great, they are beautiful

I think an India pack without the blackbuck and crested porcupine would be incomplete.
I've posted a few iterations of this lineup before but here's how I'd presently do it:
- Blackbuck
- Nilgai
- Zebu
- Fishing cat
- Sloth bear
- Lion-tailed macaque
- Gray langur
- Indian flying fox
I am going to try not to repeat any animal that is already written
- Indian Wild Donkey (NT)
- Painted Stork (NT)
- Markhor (NT)
- Asian Golden Cat (NT)
- Tibetan Antelope (NT)
- Phayre's Leaf Monkey (EN)
- Indian giant squirrel (LC)
- King Cobra (VU) [exhibit]
Almost perfect but no king cobra in an indian pack sounds like a crime (specially since we have no cobras)
I will personally switch the nilgai for the blackbuck because i really want that antelope. Is one of my most wanted animals at this point.
Rest is really cool. I want at least one muntjac species but i also want a chital or sambar deer so is a though decision on that one lol
Also no indian mongoose
Painted stork and indian bustard are good options for birds but if we get flying animals soon then the indian hornbill is a MUST.

I'd go:
Edit: I also feel like the hoolock gibbon is an obvious and likely contender for such a pack.
- Blackbuck.
- Nilgai.
- Sloth bear.
- Lion-tailed macaque.
- Indian grey mongoose.
- Fishing cat.
- Himalayan monal.
- Indian cobra.

To show how amazing the the Indian diversity I will first showcase species that were not shown before. There are at least 20 species from India that could find its way into the game:
1. Chital deer
2. Mishmi takin
3. Yak
4. Honey badger
5. Caracal
6. Fishing cat
7. Gray langur
8. Blackbuck
9. Indian bustard
10. Tokay gecko
And out of all those amazing species mentioned here and before I will desire the most:
Sloth bear for me the most amazing of all bears, with the ability for cubs to take rides on the females back and for adults to use the termite mound.
Striped hyena
Blackbuck
Lion-tailed macaque
1. Chital deer
2. Mishmi takin
3. Yak
4. Honey badger
5. Caracal
6. Fishing cat
7. Gray langur
8. Blackbuck
9. Indian bustard

I think these would be my choices:
1. Bar-headed goose - A widely-kept species in captivity that is, to my mind, the most attractive of the geese, found in a wide range of biomes across Asia and is suitable for walkthrough enclosures, simple pond displays and mixed enclosures with species like Indian rhinoceros.
2. Blackbuck - One of the most commonly-kept antelope in captivity that has a striking appearance, is able to be kept in mixed enclosures with Indian rhinos and bar-headed geese and is even kept in walkthrough enclosures here in Europe.
3. Indian crested porcupine - One of the most commonly-kept porcupine species in captivity, with a broad range of biomes (definitely desert, grassland, temperate and tropical) and occurring across a variety of different regions in Asia.
4. Lion-tailed macaque - An endangered species of monkey that would probably serve as the flagship species of the pack, with a fairly good showing in captivity and endemic to the rainforests of southwest India, an area otherwise unrepresented in the pack.
5. Rusty-spotted cat - All of the cats we have in Planet Zoo are among the top ten biggest species, so I'm choosing the complete opposite - this is one of the smallest cat species (about the same size as a meerkat), that is becoming increasingly common in zoos.
6. Striped hyena - An attractive species of large carnivore that includes Asia and Africa within its range, is pretty common in captivity and is sufficiently different in appearance, behaviour and requirements to the spotted hyena to warrant inclusion.
7. Yellow-throated marten - The largest and most colourful of the martens, which lives in social groups and would add the first species of climbing mustelid to Planet Zoo, which would go well with the climbing otters and burrowing badger.
Exhibit. Spotted pond turtle - Personally, I would prefer an African cobra species and I always think of leopard geckos as being a pet shop species rather than a zoo animal, so I have chosen this endangered and very pretty freshwater turtle as my choice for an Indian exhibit animal.
There are plenty of other options I considered as well, like the Indian giant flying squirrel (as big as a cat that I think could use a tweaked version of the jumping animations when climbing in order to glide), Asiatic lion (just so that we get a better-looking lion), pygmy hog or Himalayan monal.

Not including a Muntjac because I think Reeve's Muntjac of East Asia is the more iconic Zoo Species over Indian.
- Indian Crested Porcupine
- Sloth Bear
- Gaur
- Blackbuck
- Nilgai or Markhor depending how you define the Pack
- Lion-Tailed Macaque
- Bar-Headed Goose or Himalayan Monal
- Indian or King Cobra (E)
1. Indian Crested Porcupine: While I know the African one is more popular, this one is more common in at least European zoos and also gives representation to the Middle East.
2. Blackbuck: Not a personal favourite, nor do I get too excited about ungulates but for India I feel like this is a must-have.
3. Sloth Bear: Every pack needs a carnivore and these messy looking bears are pretty cool to have.
4. Gaur: Big cow.
5. Lion-Tailed Macaque: We need monkeys and this is quite a unique-looking one that also seems popular with the wider audience.
6. Indian Grey Mongoose: Why not another mongoose? And this one is pretty cute.
7. Nilgai: This addition makes the pack pretty ungulate-heavy, but I think that's fine considering the uniqueness of all three species and the number of ungulate species from India.
8. Indian Cobra: There's debate whether this should be an exhibit or habitat species. Well, the solution is here: make it a walkthrough exhibit species. This gives them plenty of space while you have a way to get rid of protesters.
