Hello, Jaisheel.
In the Catholic Church in India, there are 24 archdioceses and 118 dioceses. Of these, 115 are of the Latin rite, 23 of the Syro-Malabar rite and 4 of the Syro-Malankara rite.
These ecclesiastical units are served by approximately 143 active diocesan ordinaries (bishops/archbishops), 4 coadjutor (arch)bishops, 9 active auxiliary bishops, and 34 retired bishops.
For details (including the names and locations of all the bishops), please consult the Internet site of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India.

God bless you.
John
