While his Indian birth certificate is a strong factor, it’s not automatic citizenship. He would need to apply for citizenship by descent under the Indian Citizenship Act, which requires his parents to have been Indian citizens at the time of his birth and him to have been residing in India for at least one year prior to the application.
