Perhaps this isn't an issue for the Gov. India losing 100-300 million people due to some catastrophic event would probably not even be noticed since it will be the poorest part of the population that will suffer the consequences.The only possibilities for salvation I can see is clean, renewable, endless energy or mass human migration to more temperate regions of the world.

Uh, you're forgetting the logistics of dealing with the losses of 100-300 million people. Look at how COVID-19 filled morgues globally. India is in absolutely no position to deal with the logistics of a loss of life on that scale, and thus it would absolutely be noticed, disease spreading rapidly, creating a secondary humanitarian crisis.
