My take is that the solution here isn't "give India more IPv4 addresses", it's "force more Americans onto CGNAT", so that it becomes untenable for service providers to treat IPv4 addresses as if they're tied to a single user, and to encourage people to use IPv6.
The US is already 55% IPv6, and this figure is only going to go up in future as ISPs decide to migrate their network cores to IPv6 for financial reasons, making IPv4 a lower-performance edge protocol riding on CGNAT on top of IPv6. Similar selfishness elsewhere will start to drive other parts of the ecosystem to IPv6, and the problem will solve itself.
