This transition, often marked by increased processed food consumption and reduced intake of traditional staples, contributes to elevated risks of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Despite the growing Indian diaspora in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK, the evidence on their dietary acculturation remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review will adopt the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews. A three-step search strategy will be applied across databases including MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science. Google Scholar will be used as a supplementary search tool to identify additional relevant studies. The search will include peer-reviewed studies and grey literature published in English between 1 January 2000 and 22 May 2025. First-generation Indian immigrants of all ages will be included, while second-generation immigrants, refugee populations and studies linked to non-communicable disease interventions will be excluded. Screening will be conducted in Covidence by two independent reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer. Data will be extracted using a standard JBI tool, charted in tabular form, and synthesised narratively and thematically.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As this review will use published and publicly available data, formal ethics approval is not required.
