You are in India, correct?

yes

Your ministry of electronics has caused the Kotlin Gradle Plugin URLs of 1.9.24 to be blocked. This causes the "this is blocked" HTML page to be downloaded as jar file as the blocking is not accompanied with an according HTTP status response, which can then not be read by Gradle as jar file of course. Update KGP version to 1.9.25 and it should work. (Until they block that too eventually) And please do a minimal research before asking questions. Not doing so is one of the main characteristics of a help vampire. ;-) There are multiple threads about this problem here, on the forum, and on GitHub.
