I would put Juvenile in parentheses after true katydid.

I would say to be specific, this is a true katydid, but they do not live in India. I will suggest nevertheless.

If you search Katydid Nymph on this website, many of the katydid nymphs look too spotted, with too long antennae.

This is definitely a immature katydid, but I do not think it is a katydid nymph.

Here is a link to a katydid nymph:

Here is a link to a juvenile katydid, a bit older than the nymph:
