On the back of a 4-1 loss in the preceding T20 series, Jos Buttler's England wasted a good start with the bat to be bowled out for 248.
Opener Phil Salt crashed 43 from 26 balls, including 26 from one Harshit Rana over, but his calamitous run-out began a collapse of three wickets for two runs in eight balls from 71-0.
Captain Buttler threatened a successful rebuild before miscuing on 52, leaving Jacob Bethell to bat with the lower order.
The 21-year-old left-hander started slowly and had just begun to open his arms when he was pinned lbw for 51. England were dismissed in 47.4 overs.
India fell to 19-2 in reply but Shubman Gill stuck a fine 87 from 96 balls to take his side to the brink of victory.
They stumbled late on - Gill's dismissal one of three wickets for 14 runs with less than 30 needed - but India still completed their chase with 68 balls remaining.
The second ODI in the three-match series is on Sunday. (BBC)
