Governments care about financial data for a lot of legitimate reasons, including fraud, criminal activity, etc. Having the data local makes sending legal notices for data access easier and makes supervision easier. A country shouldn't rely on sending international data-access petitions to random data centers with possibly hostile governments who will fight them on jurisdiction and non-treaty grounds.
I think what they're doing makes sense.

If they want to continue doing business in India, they will comply with lawful court orders of Indian courts (or whatever other lawful mechanisms exist in India). If they store their data on the Moon, they will have to comply in the exact same way. It changes literally nothing.
