The indictment charges Vikash Yadav with masterminding a foiled plot to kill Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a direct challenge to US sovereignty.
Top US law enforcement officials have made it clear that there will be no toleration for foreign nationals targeting American citizens on US soil.
The charges against Yadav complicate the diplomatic relationship between the US and India, both partners in countering China's influence.
Yadav, identified as a Senior Field Officer in India's intelligence agency, allegedly coordinated with an associate in orchestrating the attempted murder of Pannun.
