DoH just by itself won't help unfortunately, since it just fetches the DNS (btw, only Airtel, ACT, BSNL, and MTNL bother with DNS censorship).

ISPs have been looking at the cleartext hostname in the TLS handshake to block these connections

As someone correctly pointed out, greentunnel does much more than DoH.

Thanks to everyone in this subthread. I'm on BSNL which I find is one of the Indian ISPs that seems to implement easy to circumvent blocks (DNS based), so far. Reliance no doubt is a different beast with its financial and technical clout and increasing market share. Rather concerning that we're quickly catching up to China in terms of implementing an increasingly sophisticated firewall.

Seriously can't expect the average Joe to know about stuff like greentunnel. And that's concerning...
