No, you don't need to pay tax in India if you are living abroad and earning money from foreign income sources. However, if you are generating a taxable income from India from any business or rental property, then you need to pay the required tax in India even if you are residing in a foreign country.
If you have a resident status, then you need to pay taxes in India on the global income you have earned, and if your status is NRI, then only the income you earn or get in India is taxable. Taxable incomes for NRI include salary from any Indian company, income from any rental property, capital gains on the transfer of property in India, interest on an Indian savings account, and income from a fixed deposit in India.
