He was the second son of Sultan Ibrahim (b. 1897; reigned 1944–1960) by his third wife, Cik Embong binti Encik Daud (1899–1971).

He was born on 10 December 1917, as Tengku Yahya Petra at Istana Balai Besar in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
He was married to Tengku Zainab binti Tengku Sri Utama Raja Tengku Muhammad Petra (1917–1993), who was styled Raja Perempuan Zainab II (her stepmother-in-law was Raja Perempuan Zainab I, consort of Sultan Ibrahim) and Raja Permaisuri Agong.
However, their two daughters died when they were young.

Tengku Indra Petra was the eldest son of Sultan Ibrahim and elder brother of Sultan Yahya Petra.

He was later promoted to Tengku Bendahara Kelantan on 6 February 1945 by his father, Sultan Ibrahim.
However, due to conflict with his father, he was dismissed from the post and removed from the line of succession by his father's decree on 1 February 1948.
On the same day, Sultan Yahya Petra replaced his brother as heir apparent with the new title of Tengku Mahkota Kelantan.
Tengku Indra Petra became a politician and was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) in the first federal legislative election of 1955.
