I am new to AE. Can anyone tell me how many resources and oil are needed in India and Australia respectively on a monthly basis?

I just send fuel and supply to those two places. I have never sent any oil or resources.

In short:
India:
short of some 140 resources daily, Burma is the place to get them
short of some 2050 fuel per day for their industry to run, Abadan is the place to get fuel.

Australia:
short of 50 oil a day. With some oil taken from DEI, you will not need to ship any there.
short of 1745 fuel a day. Abadan or continental USA is the best source after Japan overruns DEI. You should try to get some fuel out of there, but do not risk your vital tankers much.

So, you can get that much fuel per day out of Abadan, some 4,000 fuel per day???

There is 15000 fuel a day arriving in Abadan so the 4000 for the Indian economy shouldn't be a problem.

Oh yeah, I realized the 15.000 fuel per day at Abadan after asking the question. LOL
If you request more supply for Capetown or Abadan where does the supply come from?
Also, China. If you request more supply there where does the supply come from?
I would also assume that if you requested more supply for Rangoon that the supply would come from Bombay and Karachi more than likely?
Is Capetown the best place to send your cargo ships to grab supply from that side of the world?

If a base doesn't have a land connection to another base, supply drawn won't work. Otherwise, supply draw will pull from nearby bases. Rangoon is too far away to pull from India. What you might do, is to first pull supply to a base like Chitagong, then Akyab and from there it might reach Rangoon. Capetown is indeed the best place to get supply, but it isn't an endless source either, only the USA is nearly unexhaustable, also watch fuel levels in Cape town, they might get low quicker then you think.
