I simply requested them to opt me out of CG-NAT, they fixed it on their end, and my port forwarding rules starting working es expected.

Gurgaon fiber also recently moved to CGNat, have been trying to get IPV6 enabled but the guys on customer care can't even understand IPV6.
In the end, they say we'll schedule a technician visit who I talk to and he says IPv6 not available right now.

How did you ask them to push you out of CGNat? @Aakif17

Ok lets see what this article says:

The devices connected to one private network might have communication problems with the devices connected to the other private network, and you might experience problems with: Online games - This could be a reason, i do not know if it impacts me since i havent tried COD or such but other ones are working OK. Not sure about latency TBH.
VPN connections -Working fine, I am still using VPN for office
Port forwarding and triggering Port Forwarding on the router is not really safe, to begin with, use cloud tunnel (ngrok, agro, etc)
Secure websites that use SSL Payment gateways still work, encryption is end to end (device to server) so no impact imho.

And the fix shared by them is to put ISP device in Bridge mode, which we can do anyway, and most of us have it already....
