Transfer pricing provisions can apply when a taxpayer enters into international transactions with associated enterprises, certain notified jurisdiction transactions or specified domestic transactions.

Income Tax Department guidance states that transfer pricing provisions apply to all international transactions irrespective of amount involved.
