Opener Joe Burns ended on 51 not out, completing the chase with a six, as the day-night Test was completed midway through the third day.
The second Test in Melbourne begins on Boxing Day.
India captain Virat Kohli will miss the remainder of the series to return home for the birth of his first child.
