What do these signals mean together?

Smart Money Take interpretation, not just data

Volatility is compressing — options are cheap
India VIX at 13.3 and falling -7.5% today. The market is pricing in calm. Historically, sustained low-VIX periods are followed by sharp volatility reawakenings.
What to watch:If you expect a directional move (either way), this is the cheap window to load tail-risk hedges. ATM straddles get expensive once VIX rebounds. Watch for VIX to bottom — often coincides with the first 0.8%+ move in either direction.
Why is it pricing this way?
