Is Erste Group Bank a Germany company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Erste Group Bank trades on XETRA in EUR, but the company is domiciled in Austria. Erste Group Bank trades as an ordinary share listed directly in Germany, not a depositary receipt. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.

Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name. Whether the sale is short- or long-term is decided by the 24-month holding period.
Does the rupee rate affect what I make on Erste Group Bank?
Yes. Erste Group Bank is priced in EUR, so your rupee outcome combines the EUR move with the EUR/INR move between the day you remit and the day you convert back. Both directions are reflected in the capital-gains statement Paasa issues.
