OIDAR service providers providing services from India must obtain registration under GST if their aggregate annual turnover exceeds Rs. 20 Lakhs during a financial year. This limit is Rs. 10 Lakhs for special category states.
Under section 24 of the CGST Act, 2017 - Compulsory registration, OIDAR services providers who are located outside India and providing services in India are compulsory required to take registration.

Thank you for your kind response:
Section 24 (1) (Xi):
Every person supplying online information and database access or retrieval services from a place outside India to a person in India, other than a registered person
Here It is clearly mentioned service from a place outside India to a person in India. This is not my case though. In my case, I provide service from India to place of supply outside India.

Dear Pankaj,
Thank you again for the quick reply.
Section 14 of IGST under subsection (2) mentions the Supplier of OIDAR referred to in sub-section (1) which is any person located in a non-taxable territory.
And again the clause "Provided that any person located in the taxable territory representing such supplier" is clearly referring to an intermediary.
Both above statements are not true in my case.
1. I am located in the taxable territory. providing service in a non-taxable territory (Export)
2. I am not an intermediary.
I hope I am clear.
