-nr- in Sanskrit > -ndr- ? I think it doesn't occurs regularly, cf.
*h2ner-/*h2nr- > ever nr-, never -ndr- (opposite to Greek, where nr gives
ndr, cf. andros)

But this epenthetical -d- is possible if the word is not IE.
Indra < *Inra ?

=========

Hourri shows the d is -t?-
otherwise it would be written intara in Hourri
we have indara ?int?ara
Why should the epenthesis be glottalized ?
it does not make sense.
