According to the Indian Government, Indians are not allowed dual citizenship with an OCI card. If you have to get the citizenship of another country, then you have to surrender your Indian passport and apply for the citizenship of another country. With an OCI card, you can get the benefits of most citizens of India without getting a dual citizenship.
