TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for a Thai tourist visa in India, primarily through VFS Global since the Thai embassy has outsourced visa services to them. However, non-Indian passport holders typically need to provide evidence of permanent residence in India to be eligible for the visa application.

You can’t apply at the embassy now. Please search for VFS New Delhi. The embassy has out sourced the visa work to vfs.

Yes you must be an Indian resident to apply. The website is very much Evisa based.

One may think VFS had a hand in designing the Evisa website

If you are non Indian I believe you need "Evidence of permanent residence in India (non-Indian passport holder)"
