It seems certain, that R1a-Z93 came to India in several waves:
Indo-Aryans (in the Bronze Age) - they brought the most common subclade (L657)
R1a-L657 is especially prevalent among Indo-Aryan Brahmins.
Later immigrations with R1a-Z93 were Iranic-speakers, including:
Indo-Scythians (ca. 2000 years ago)
Kushans and Yuezhi (ca. 1950 years ago)
Hephthalites (ca. 1500 years ago)
They probably brought all other subclades of Z93 present in India, apart from L657.
Some of white ethnic groups in India claim Iranic rather than Indo-Aryan descent:
