It appears that the Indian government has unilaterally decided to grant VOA (visa on arrival) to citizens of a select group of 5 countries including Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Luxembourg and Finland,

The decision to offer visa-on-arrival is currently only a pilot project. And the choice of the selected countries has been dictated by the fact that no national of any of these countries has ever been found to be involved in — even linked to — any terror-related incident anywhere in the world. The nod came after detailed consultations with intelligence agencies like Intelligence Bureau and the Research and Analysis Wing.

A formal notification in this regard is likely to be made very soon.
