10*30 > 180 in my book
The problem is that the visa rules were changed some time back (2020? not sure). It used to be 180 days of continuous stay, and there are expat websites that still contain that information. The current rules are "Maximum stay in India during each calendar year shall not exceed 180 days", which is why going abroad for a couple day/weeks to restart the clock no longer works.
