I've hesitated somewhat concerning this bus as I cannot identify the lights.

Apart from that it's a 1994-2001 Volvo B12 (R?) with a Carrus body. Carrus is a Finnish coach builder.

Carrus made a lot of similar looking bodies like 302, 350, 502 and 602.

No, Volvo B7R made in India. Volvo had acquired Carrus in 1998.

Quote Version of the Carrus Star 502 coach built on Volvo B7R chassis in India by Jaico Automobiles Engg.co.Pvt Ltd, marketed as just Volvo B7R. Succeded by the Volvo 9400.

First year in India was 2001.
Quote After a six-month demonstration period using two intercity-specification B7Rs loaned from Hong Kong and Singapore, the Volvo B7R was launched in 2001 for India's intercity and tourist bus market.[7][8] The B7R soon became the most popular 'deluxe' long-distance air-conditioned bus in India,[citation needed] with the chassis being locally manufactured at Volvo's Hoskote plant in Karnataka.

I found a news report from 2001 that names a different coachbuilder.
Quote Volvo will produce the chassis at its Hoskote factory, while the body will be manufactured by the Azad group at its facilities in Bangalore.

...which means origin in both Sweden and Finland, and built in India?

Interesting!

I must have travelled with a coach similar to this Link to "sv.wikipedia.org" hundreds of times.

Why not Model Origin: Sweden and Finland?

Volvo only made the chassis components Link to "mb.cision.com" whereas Carrus in Finland originally designed and built the body.
