They are following Indian censorship laws for Indian IP addresses.
Not sure if that's the hill they went to die on, but sure there's an argument they should try anyway. Google tried to resist the Chinese gov early on then shut down the entire service there when that became infeasible (which went well beyond taking down a couple links).
Twitter probably has a long existing framework in place with each region legal system and the degrees to which they will listen to it. And India isn't exactly a North Korean type dictatorship where companies would normally disregard their demands out-right.
Maybe this will bring attention to that issue. I'm happy people are holding Elon Musk to account on free speech, even when most people are just doing just to spite him.
