Salam Alaikum,
The Moon sighting committees in India and Pakistan start looking for the moon at the start of Ramathan and Eid-ul-fitr a day after all other committees in the world.
Maybe it has something to do with the Islamic calender whereby when it's 2nd Rajab in India it is 3rd Rajab everywhere else, so throughout the year, we are a day behind in India. Does someone here know why this is so? Shukran in advance!

I found kind of answer to this matter some years ago:

"Geographical differences mean we are a day behind Saudi Arabia in terms of lunar months"
