No, a citizen of India cannot hold dual citizenship. It is not allowed as per Constitution of India. Article 9 of COI: No person shall be a citizen of India by virtue of article 5, or be deemed to be a citizen of India by virtue of article 6 or article 8, if he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of any foreign State. ( OCI card is not citizenship but a kind of long term visa.)

"Dual Citizenship" is not allowed as per the constitutional provisions of Indian Constitution. Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) often reffered as dual citizenship but it is a mistaken fact. OCI does not grant citizenship to any individual as it does not provide Right to Vote, to be a election candidate, hold any constitutional post or even government post.
