Does IR have push-pull operations?

Push-pull operations are seen in a few places. The Bangalore-Mysore Passenger has a loco at one end and driving trailer cab at the other end for true push-pull operation. The trailer cab is sometimes seen in the middle of a rake instead of the very end (Bangalore-Arsikere-Nanjangud Passenger)
[7/02] The 6057/6058 Sapthagiri Express between Chennai Central and Tirupati (via Renigunta) has a WAM-4 permanently coupled to the rake at one end, with a cabin in the last coach at the other end which has all the controls of the WAM-4 replicated.

Though not strictly push-pull, some suburban or short passenger services are operated with a loco in the middle of a rake instead of at the end (e.g. Diva-Vasai, Solapur-Bijapur). The Diva-Vasai Passenger has 4 coaches on either side of the locomotive; the end coaches are special-purpose modified units and have a driver’s cabin, a ladies’ compartment, and a luggage compartment. A few trains have a loco at one end and a DMU at the other end, e.g., Diva-Roha.
