Its below replacement level now, according to the latest survey. That 2.2 number is from the 2015 survey.

It’s under replacement as of 2020, probably even lower now.

China has been below 2.2 in 1990 and has remained well below that since, while continuing to have a growing population. If you're looking even three or four decades ahead it's not a huge problem for India.
