YouTube for Android - 480p in India (article from XDA)

Please read the article from the link below.

These restrictions appear to be rolling out regionally, with most reports centering in Mumbai and Delhi, while cities like Bangalore and areas of Gujarat, so far appear to be free of these restrictions (though these may very well get the same restrictions in the coming hours and days). The restrictions are in place irrespective of your internet connection and its quality, so it does not matter whether you are on mobile data (4G LTE) or on Wi-Fi. The ceiling is apparently in place for YouTube Premium users too.

 Meanwhile, videos on YouTube on desktop appear to be unaffected, even starting off on a decently high 1080p by default on the same network.
