Borewell test results attached: Need advise on treatment to ensure potability in Chennai, Tamilnadu

I'm Vinodkumar, living in Velachery (Pallikaranai), Chennai, TN. Our bore well water has recently changed hard and very little salty. We stopped using it for drinking. After searching existing queries, I found I have to post a water test result in order to get the right advise. I have tested the water and the result received is as given:
