Are these the same area/formations as the Decca basalts?

From a quick web search, I'd say no.

These basins are more in Central India and are Precambrian. The Deccan Traps are in the southern part of India and are Cretaceous.

They are not the same as the Deccan. The Deccan traps are cretaceous flood basalts. These basins are Precambrian in age.
