Victory in the fourth Test gave India an unassailable 2-1 lead in the five-match series with one more Test to play.
The fifth Test will begin at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Friday.
Set a daunting target of 368 runs to win, England were bowled out 210 in the final session of play on Day 5.
Jasprit Bumrah, who dismissed Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow in quick succession in the second session, initiated a collapse that saw Moeen Ali and skipper Joe Root fall later as India picked six wickets in the post-lunch session.
With just two more wickets needed to win after Tea, Umesh Yadav sent back Criag Overton and James Anderson to hand India the victory.
