My friends and I have already requested this feature for Indian from the Google Disability Answer Desk many months ago. If, you genuinely want this Google Maps Detailed Voice Guidance feature for Indian users you can also request and share from your side at https://support.google.com/accessibility/answer/7641084?hl=en&ref_topic=9071908&sjid=199523313426904780-AP#zippy=%2Chours-languages-for-google-disability-support-team Please mind that most companies only roll out the feature or fix the bug in any software when they get enough requests from the users including Google.
