How are gains on Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima shares taxed in India?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents, so the tax is an India-side one. Gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%. 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 USD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima pay a dividend?
No. Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima does not currently pay a dividend, so holding it produces no dividend income to declare in India. If it starts paying one, the Indian treatment is the usual one — dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India — and Paasa's dividend report would show the gross amount and any tax withheld.

Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima trades on the New York Stock Exchange in US dollars, but the company is domiciled in Argentina. Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima trades as an American Depositary Receipt rather than an ordinary share. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.
