The patient was a 68-year-old woman with diabetes and hypertension and died in the country's capital New Delhi.
India, which has a population of 1.3 billion, has so far reported just 82 confirmed cases of the virus, lower than other countries in Asia, Europe and North America.
A 76-year-old man from Karnataka state was the first person to die from the virus in India, authorities said.
