No he actually did win.
The greatest of Alexander's battles in India was against Porus, one of the most powerful Indian leaders, at the river Hydaspes in July 326 B.C.E. Alexander's army crossed the heavily defended river in dramatic fashion during a violent thunderstorm to meet Porus' forces. The Indians were defeated in a fierce battle, even though they fought with elephants, which the Macedonians had never before seen. Alexander captured Porus and, like the other local rulers he had defeated, allowed him to continue to govern his territory. Alexander even subdued an independent province and granted it to Porus as a gift.

Did Alexander lose a war if he did what was it?
The events of his supposed defeat of King Porus of Hydaspes at the Battle of the Hydaspes River are strange - it was a close battle, and after Alexander 'won', he inexplicably gave back to Porus his kingdom of Hydaspes, and also donated to Porus his astounded ally King Taxiles' kingdom of Taxila. He then went on doing conquests for Porus to add to the latter's kingdom. It sounds more like Hydaspes River was a stalemate at best, if not a defeat for Alexander, given Alexander's obsequious approach to his alleged victim, but of course his tame historians are not going to admit it. It will remain a mystery.
