I'm running KDE Plasma 5 on Arch Linux. In System Settings | Keyboard | Add Layout I have an Indian layout which includes variants for Hindi and Punjabi and many others. There are two Punjabi variants and 3 Hindi variants. I did not install any extra packages. In fact, I did not even install the full KDE Plasma group from the Arch repositories. Here is the list of packages I installed, in case it helps:
