I would not worry about garrisoning Indian bases unless you plan on using the air base at that base. That way, the air fields will be wrecked by partisan action which does not affect resource nor supply production, if I recall correctly. You still get the production but if the enemy recaptures the base, the airfields won't be usable until they are repaired.

The partisan effect (there is a die roll involved) results in
port damage
airfield damage
10% loss of supply and fuel
1 VP loss
no supply movement into or through hex
Leaving ungarrisoned bases in the rear is not a good idea. Even those who dont care about the VPs, there will be a significant logistical impact on the fighting capabilities at the front.

The major frontlines right now are China and India. Operations are also ongoing in northern Australia and the South Pacific, specifically the effort to take Pago Pago.

You might want to consider a small strategic maskirovka here.
Currently you have a toehold in the western Aleutians. This by no means closes the door on western support to the Soviet Union as the northern reaches of the Bering Sea can be utilised by the Allies.
The small maskirovka to consider is to close off the northern Bering Sea sea lanes by capturing both Nome and Bethel. The former will be only lightly held by the Allies, the latter probably has no garrison at all. Doing this shortly before actually attacking the Bear might encourage your opponent to think that your focus is on the Soviet Maritime areas with the intention of preventing western assets operating in the area in assistance.
Nome is within para dropping range of Anadyer and the dot base Uel Kal. The former will not be trongly held, the latter will have no garrison. A move against both on D-day, using small forces may reinforce the maskirovka.

The main things jump out at me are that you have lots of shut off engine, air and RD Air production.
Are your 210 RD Air that are shut off helping with research or are they just sitting idle?
You might still have a few hundred more Oil points you could capture, but Japan has an excess of Refineries in the Home Islands so as long as you are shipping it home you should see the global Oil stockpile drop each month.
You could shut off production from some of your Armament factories and spend those HI points on something else. I've had 440 Armament factories producing since Dec 41 and have 165k Armament points in the pool in May 1943.
You might not be able to build enough TK and xAK that can convert to TK without switching some of your Merchant Shipyard production back on.
