The advisory is part of the Indian government's move to find out how many Indians are there in Ukraine still.
Following their advisory sent in January this year, nearly 20,000 Indians had registered, but more than that figure has left Ukraine, including over 13,000 who have been airlifted to India on board the Operation Ganga flights.
Around 700 are left in Sumy, while nearly all are estimated to have left Kharkiv.
Separately, the Indian Embassy in Hungary said that it is beginning its last leg of evacuation on Operation Ganga, and asked all students to reach the Hungarian City Centre at Rakoczi in Budapest today.
It said on Twitter: "Important Announcement: Embassy of India begins its last leg of Operation Ganga flights today. All those students staying in their OWN accommodation ( other than arranged by Embassy) are requested to reach @Hungariacitycentre , Rakoczi Ut 90, Budapest between 10 am-12 pm."
