I remember reading about the Indian government passing regulations for the tight control of Bitcoin<->₹ transactions in the country.

But there can still be Bitcoin <=> Bitcoin transactions as an alternative to Paytm et al. It's very unlikely to pick up though I guess.

Most people are only interested in Bitcoin insofar as it's convertible to a local currency. So if it's difficult to do that, it's difficult to use Bitcoin for most transactions.
