You can read about the Standard 20HP used during the Delphi Durbar in an article on the Standard Car Club website:

Triangular Motors Limited 1948

This Triangular Motors Limited, New Queens Road, Bombay advert from 7 August 1948 for the Standard Vanguard is I think aimed at British nationals returning to the United Kingdom.  I have seen other adverts by this business advertising a branch in Poona and Wolseley cars.

Standard Vanguard phase 2 1954

Standard Motor Products of India Ltd, Madras advert from 18th April 1954 for the Standard Vanguard phase 2 includes a list of distributors:

• Metro Motors, Bombay
• Rajputana Motor Car Co, Ajmer 
• Sikand & Co, New Delhi
• French Motor Co Ltd, Calcutta
• The Union Co (Motors) Ltd, Madras
• R I Works, Nagpur
• Auto Chenoy, Secunderabad 
• Dealer for Gujarat
• Ahmedabad Motor Ltd, Lal Darwaja, Ahmedabad

Standard Vanguard phase 3 1957

By 1957 Ahmedabad Motor Ltd are now listed as distributor of Standard cars.
