There should be no problem finding supplements in India, but plant milks with supplements might be a problem. Not sure if you'll be able to find nutritional yeast either unless you're in a big city.
Do you have a card you can order things online with? That would be the best bet.

For vit D3, unived has one in liquid form that you can get from Amazon (personally, i avoid the calcium-d3 combo). Alternatively you can buy Deva's D2 from amazon but some people have problems raising their vit d levels with D2.
For vitb12 supplement, there are two options cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin.
For cyanocobalamin, the dosage is 1000mcg tablet twice per week
You can buy it from healthkart, bottle will last you 6months:

For methylcobalamin, the dosage is 1000mcg tablet/day because of its lower stability. You can buy that from a pharmacy neurokind by Mankind brand (1500mcg tablet).
What do you make of atheism?
