Yes, abandoning a pet is illegal in India. Under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, leaving a pet like a dog or cat without food water, or care is considered cruelty to animals.
A person who abandons a pet can be punished with a fine and/or imprisonment, depending on the seriousness of the act.
