A rattled India limped to 51-4 at stumps on a day when the Australians were only able to bowl 17 overs at the visitors and players left the field seven times due to downpours.
KL Rahul was on 33 at the end of a wet day along with skipper Rohit Sharma, who was yet to score.
Needing 245 to avoid the follow-on, India lost three early wickets in the first session, after earlier bowling Australia out for 445.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli all fell to Australia's opening bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
They then lost Rishabh Pant just before tea, which was called early because of another downpour that then kept the players off the field for over two hours.
When they did return, bad light saw the Australians throw the ball to off-spinner Nathan Lyon and part-timer Travis Head.
