Hi priyahazrawildlife, The link to Wikipedia's article on the Sweet Potato Bug will show you pictures of the bug and confirm that its distribution includes India, but it does not show the eggs. So, may I suggest that you look at my spotting https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1813239417... There you will see a female P. grossipes guarding its eggs which look just like yours. I hope that helps.
