No, his advance into India was halted because his army mutinied and refused to go any further. They had been on the march for ten years, and just wanted to go home and enjoy their loot. Alexander had no choice but to turn back, but revenged himself on his army by marching them home through the Gedrosian Desert where a great many perished.
