Which Amex card should I get? I’m traveling to India soon and heard that visa and Mastercard are not working. Also, I already have CSR so I don’t need any points. I just need an Amex with no or min annual fees. Any suggestions?

CSR is a Visa card. It works perfectly in India. AMEX is actually not accepted at a lot of Indian shops that take foreign credit cards due to the fees or transactions not being honored for some reason. Your best bet is to either use CSR or open a bank account there to get a debit card

These days if you have an Indian Bank account (or open in some neobank online in 5 min), you can just use UPI. Yet to come across a store, right from low end to designers ones which doesn't accepting UPI

Well, in India, AMEX is not accepted at a lot of places. Visa and MasterCard cards are more common. If you have either of these, it should work just fine.
Some banks have international transactions disabled (by default) . Be sure to have those enabled beforehand.
Of course, there'll be markups on FX, but I'm guessing you are OK with that.

I have used chase reserve. No issues shopping anywhere in India with csr. No Foreign transaction fee as well

Yes. I used it early this year without any issues. No issues for visa cards
