Euclea delphinii is a US species and not found in India!

Yes, definitely a Limacodidae.

Reminds me of the saddleback caterpillar - but that's an American species. Perhaps the same family: Limacodidae

I don't think that this one is an Euclea sp. These are only found in the Americas.

Reminds me of a slug caterpillar, family Limacodidae. Many can inflict painful stings with their spines.

Looks like the Indian equivalent to our saddleback caterpillar
