TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry revolves around the ability of foreigners to apply for a DTV visa from India, particularly from Chennai. Commenters clarified that it is possible for foreigners to apply, provided they include a copy of their Indian visa with stamp. There are examples of foreigners, including Americans, successfully applying for the DTV and Elite visas from India, contradicting the notion that only Indians can apply.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Email the consulate and ask them BEFORE you do apply though, because if you can't you and get rejected after you apply, you lose the application fee

I guess 15 days for someone who applied from north of India. I guess no one from Chennai. Probably you or me could be first of the kind. I am applying through remote worker window.
