Australia were once again undone by India's slow bowling as the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin (3/57) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/68) shared six-wickets between them.
Ashwin's scalps included the prized wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in the same over.
Seasoned seamer Mohammed Shami (4/60) accounted for the rest of the Australian batters.
Contributions by opener Usman Khawaja (81) and Peter Handscomb (72 not out) took Australia over the 250-run mark.

Khawaja had looked set to score his 14th Test century but a stunning one-handed catch by KL Rahul in the afternoon session spelt the end of the opener's innings.
Skipper Pat Cummins played a spirited 59-ball 33-run knock that included three fours and two sixes.
India lead the four-match series 1-0.
Brief scores:
Australia 1st Innings: 263 all out in 78.4 overs (Usman Khawaja 81; Peter Handscomb 72 not out; Mohammed Shami 4/60)
