India, which handed Australia a 295-run defeat in the first test of the five-match series, struggled after opting to bat first in the day-night match.
Starc dismissed in-form opener Yashasvi Jaiswal lbw with the first delivery of the pink-ball test, and then returned to send back KL Rahul and Virat Kohli in the second hour of play.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were back in the side after missing the first test in Perth but Gill was trapped lbw by Scott Boland for 31 to make the score 81-4.
Sharma, batting at No. 6, also went six runs later, again trapped lbw by Boland for three.
Boland was back in the Australia side in place of the injured Josh Hazlewood.
Pat Cummins took the sixth wicket to fall when he bounced out Rishabh Pant for 21.
Ravichandran Ashwin made 22 before he was yorked by Starc, who then bowled Harshit Rana for a duck to celebrate his first five-wicket test haul against India.
The No. 7 batter Nitish Reddy top-scored with 42 off 54 balls – hitting three sixes – before he was last man out, caught off Starc as the Australia paceman surpassed his previous test best of 6-50 against Sri Lanka.
Post tea, Australia dominated with the bat and lost only one wicket.
The Indian pacemen were wayward with the new ball, yet Jasprit Bumrah was able to dismiss Usman Khawaja for 13, caught at slip by Sharma.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A shooter dressed in black killed at least two people and wounded eight others at Brown University on Saturday during final exams on the Ivy League campus, authorities said, and police were searching for the suspect.
University President Christina Paxson said she was told that all 10 people who were shot were students. Another person was injured by fragments from the shooting, authorities said.
Officers scattered across the campus and into an affluent neighborhood filled with historic and stately brick homes, searching academic buildings, backyards and porches for hours late into the night after the shooting erupted in the afternoon.
The suspect was a male in dark clothing who was last seen leaving the engineering building where the attack happened, said Timothy O’Hara, deputy chief of Providence police.
Some witnesses told them the suspect, who could be in his 30s, may have been wearing a camouflage mask, O'Hara said.
Investigators were not yet sure how the shooter got inside the first-floor classroom. Outer doors of the building were unlocked, but rooms being used for final exams required badge access, Providence's mayor said.
Authorities believe the shooter used a handgun, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Rhode Island has some of the strictest gun laws in the U.S. Last spring the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed an assault weapon ban that will prohibit the sale and manufacturing of certain high-powered firearms, but not their possession, starting next July.
“The unthinkable has happened,” Democratic Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee said.
Mayor Brett Smiley said a shelter-in-place remained in effect and encouraged people living near the campus to stay inside or not return home until it is lifted. Streets that normally bustle with activity on weekends were eerily quiet.
“We have all available resources” to find the suspect, Smiley said.
Emma Ferraro, a chemical engineering student, was in the engineering building’s lobby working on a final project when she heard loud pops coming from the east side.
Once she realized they were gunshots, she darted for the door and ran to a nearby building where she was waited for a couple of hours.
Eight people with gunshot wounds were taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where six were in critical but stable condition, according to Kelly Brennan, a spokesperson for the hospital. Another was in critical condition and one was stable, she said.
University officials initially told students and staff that a suspect was in custody, before later saying that was not the case. The mayor said a person preliminarily thought to be involved was detained but was later determined to have no involvement.
Nearly five hours after the shooting, officers in tactical gear led students out of some campus buildings and into a fitness center.
The shooting occurred in the Barus & Holley building, a seven-story complex that houses the School of Engineering and physics department. According to the university’s website, the building includes more than 100 laboratories, dozens of classrooms and offices.
Engineering design exams were underway there when the shooting occurred.
Brown senior biochemistry student Alex Bruce was working on a final research project in his dorm directly across the street from the building when he heard sirens outside and received a text about an active shooter shortly after 4 p.m.
“I’m just in here shaking,” he said, watching through the window as a half-dozen armed officers in tactical gear surrounded his dorm. He said he feared for a friend who he thought was inside the engineering building at the time.
Students in a nearby lab hid under desks and turned off the lights after receiving an alert about the shooting, said Chiangheng Chien, a doctoral student in engineering who was about a block away from the scene.
Mari Camara, 20, a junior from New York City, was coming out of the library and rushed inside a taqueria to seek shelter. She spent more than three hours there, texting friends while police searched the campus.
“Everyone is the same as me, shocked and terrified that something like this happened,” she said.
President Donald Trump told reporters that he had been briefed on the shooting and “all we can do right now is pray for the victims.”
Brown, the seventh oldest higher education institution in the U.S., is one of the nation's most prestigious colleges, with roughly 7,300 undergraduates and more than 3,000 graduate students. Tuition, housing and other fees run to nearly $100,000 per year, according to the university.
