No, since an Indian citizen needs a Schengen Visa to enter the Schengen Area, you are still required to get a visa.
Only residence permits of a Schengen country can be used as a visa replacement when visiting another Schengen country (togeather with the passport).
Your UK residence permit allows you to apply for a Schengen Visa from within the United Kingdom and must be valid for at least three months longer than intended return date (the same rule applies for your passport).
