Why not maintain a bigger reserve & srsly look at the CAPEX:OPEX budget of Army
Army Reserves whether big or small are also a part of the Army
And they dont come for free Their CAPEX and OPEX is all part of the over all budget
The question is : How many Armed soldiers we need given what our enemy can throw at us
Have you ever considered : How many Armed males can
Pakistan mobilise and make them attack India
Even if they are armed with just with an AK 47 and an RPG and Hand grenades or IED s
That is why 70 Percent of our Army is facing Pakistan

We can always reduce manforce with technology but unfortunately that is not the case for the Indian army at the moment.
The US adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan have SHOWN the Limitations
of Air power and other High technology
Ultimately you need MEN to fight with enemy men and hold territory
Have you ever considered : How many Armed males can
Pakistan mobilise and make them attack India

That becomes the basis for our Military force planning
