Can I be extradited from India to the UK if I hold a valid Indian visa or residency permit?

Yes, holding an Indian visa or residency permit provides no protection against extradition. Immigration status is entirely separate from extradition proceedings under the Extradition Act 1962. Indian authorities can detain you upon receipt of a provisional arrest warrant regardless of your lawful residence. However, long-term residence in India may be relevant when arguing that extradition would be disproportionate or oppressive, particularly if you have established family ties, business interests, or community connections that would be severely disrupted by surrender to the UK.
