Under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, where seller delivers less quantity than contracted, the buyer may:

Section 37(1) provides that where the seller delivers less than he contracted to sell, "the buyer may reject them, but if the buyer accepts the goods so delivered he shall pay for them at the contract rate". He pays only for what he accepts, not the full contract price, and the Act gives him no right to resell the seller's goods.
