She applied in January, received her I-797, and completed biometrics on February 6. She’s considering traveling to India. Her current green card expires on June 16, 2026.

Is it advisable for her to travel and return using the expired green card along with the I-797, or what would be the recommended next steps?

Will she be back by June?

Please complete your timelines. Is she eligible to apply for citizenship?

No, she will be coming after June. I don't watch this forum very closely, are people getting harassed unnecessarily like i hear in the media?

No

I am not seeing a category for person renewing the green-card. She is eligible to apply for citizenship but she cant take the test in English, we are waiting for another 5 when she can be exempted

Legally, she can board a plane to return to the US with just an expired 10 year Green card.  However, I would carry the I-797 with me also.  

Page 32 of the US Carrier Guide indicates she should be fine with an expired 10 year card:
