Diplomats can certainly bring their firearm/s into India or atleast that was the case when I used to live in Delhi in the 70's but I am not sure if they are permitted to sell their guns or ammunition to an Indian licence holder be it an individual or a gun shop.

Technically the embassy is still the home country.. so sale to any person outside will technically be a cross country transaction. hence it will be deemed Import of firearms whihc is banned
