Just because India has a different foreign policy ITTL doesn't mean it has a different economic system.India isn't stuck stagnating under various forms of socialism for decades, for one.
It also means that some of that industry, aid and investment that in OTL, went to China, may ITTL go to India... and ironically, the US/West would have less to fear about the rise of an Indian superpower, than they would Japan/China. A rising power in East Asia will always come into conflicts with the USA over the Pacific Rim... but India more or less may have the chance to turn the Indian Ocean into its own sphere of influence.
