Yes, you can do that. PPL in India is issued after 40 hours flying + DGCA exams + PPL issue checks.
You can take PPL from India and then proceed abroad to complete your training for CPL. But remember this is not going to give you any additional benefits. Because PPL privileges for Indian license cannot be exercised abroad, as the criteria for issue of PPL or CPL differs from country to country.
Like countries which are regulated by FAA, issue CPL only after 250 hours of flying. And in India, it's DGCA that imposes and enforces the laws of aviation. Here you can get your CPL at 200 hours of flying only.
