The match was tied at 163 each after 18 arrows and there was little to choose between the teams at that stage.
All three Indian girls shot near perfection in the final 6 arrows to help India cross the finishing line with a 219-215 margin.
Last month, the same team had won the gold medal in the World Cup in Colombia.
