Note that the rules are even different for Delhi and Mumbai!
From what I can see, there are similar restrictions on internal flights. Apparently its because of worries about homegrown Indian terrorists

No liquids, foods or cosmetics of any type are permitted other than the following items:
* Prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger's ticket and supported by an authorised person
* Baby formula, breast milk, and baby food in small containers if a baby or small child is travelling
No liquids includes gels, pastes, lotions, liquid/solid mixtures and the contents of pressurised containers, e.g. toothpaste, hair gel, drinks, soups, syrups, perfume, deodorant, shaving foam, aerosols, etc.
Liquid Duty Free items can be purchased from stores after the security checkpoints these will be delivered to passengers at the boarding gate upon their final departure by the Duty Free agent.
