Gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is computed in rupees using the JPY/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Kumiai Chemical Industry price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
