Siddhant, by the IUCN site did you mean the WDPA dataset from
protectedplanet.net
<https://www.protectedplanet.net/search?country=India&main=country&page=8&region=Asia+%26+Pacific>
?

Was taking a closer look at that dataset and the polygons don't look
accurate at all, many parks are just a very rough blob. Moreover from the
terms of use, commercial use is not allowed and thus not compatible for
adding to OSM.

After some digging, found that the Wildlife Institute of India has a GIS
portal with what seems to be fairly accurate polygons. You can browse them
here http://210.212.84.122/wii-pan-client/Map.aspx

Since it is a dataset created by the central government, i believe this
will automatically come under NDSAP and can be used under the terms of GODL
