Indian finance minister has already said that Indian politics is not mature to have this idea implemented. Activists/Politicians support idea of UBI along with all the other subsidies. So it won't replace anything, just an addition to already financially burdened state. To put in perspective Indian per capita income is just 3% of USA. Even with PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) it is still 1/10th of US. I think most generous implementation might not even be able to provide 2 basic meals a day, forget housing and healthcare etc.
