Yeah, India could be considered an outlier in BRICS:

" Perhaps the major problem to the BRICS is India. India is an outlier,” said Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr., a Brazilian economist who left the International Monetary Fund in 2015 to lead the New Development Bank, founded by the BRICS members in Shanghai.(.....) other observers were calling India a Trojan horse within the BRICS, implying that its close relationships with the United States and Israel were sabotaging the larger group."

But so could any other BRICS+ country , depending in their (geo)political position, and many other Western or other international institution.

I do acknowledge though, that India's stance against Chinese neo imperialism, and it's recent military conflicts, sets it apart from other members
