I'm planning to buy this laptop[https://www.amazon.in/HP-15-6-inch-5-4600H-Windows-15-en0001AX] from amazon India and would like to replace/dual boot windows 10 home with some linux distros. Would it void the warranty?

Standard Warranty only covers the hardware - loading Linux does not void the warranty.
If you do have to send in the computer for repair, Linux is not included in the coverage.
If the OS has to be reloaded, you get back a computer with the original Windows installed (but not your Linux).
