Coreidae
rdx1312, I agree there is a resemblance, but the terminal antennal segment on Gonocerus acuteangulatus is a lot shorter and shaped differently than the one on this species.
bayucca, I'm not terribly familiar with the Indian species. I'm afraid the best I can do is Subfamily Coreinae. There are 19 tribes in the Coreinae found in the eastern hemisphere. I would need a specimen and a good key to the species to say for sure ID-wise.
Hi bayucca,
Thanks for the suggestion. I also agree with you that Conifer seed bug may not belong to India and your ID seems to match better. Changing it.
I don't think it is a Leptoglossus occidentalis. To my knowledge it is only found in US/Canada and had introduced some parts of Europe. I can't imagine that it is also extending to India. In addition, in my eyes it looks different:
