Please don’t drive - hire a driver
Yeah, don’t drive OP! You may no longer have the “reflex” to make quick decisions for the Indian roads.
I do appreciate the concern however like to have the freedom to drive myself. I agree it’s been a few years but boy, it’s 15-20 mins adjustment given you drove enough in Mumbai-Delhi.
From what i remember each state had a slightly different program, if you had an older license it might be easy to get a new one. If you never had one you should be able to get an international driving permit. Long time back my friend needed an international permit and he got it when he went to the local RTO office
Hey OP! OCI holder myself and have maintained my India DL so I do drive within a small radius of my house each time I go to India. A couple of years ago got an IDP from AAA that I used to drive around in Greece. It’s a pretty hassle free process to get the IDP and google says IDPs are valid in India. So perhaps you could look into that?
Thanks D1, how you are maintaining India DL? For renewal don’t you have to be there in person? I read after age 45, you get license with 5 yr validity and need to give road test.
Why do you want to drive in India? It’s a different environment when it comes to driving, hire a driver instead

The bowl cracks me up - OP asks a simple question and bunch of us dont answer the question, question why he wants it in the first place, and respond with the most inane obvious alternatives.
Side note - go to an AAA and get it done, it's an ugly booklet looking thing but you'll get it within the hour. D1 is right
Thanks A1, I followed what D1 said and got it from AAA same day. Thanks for sharing the info.
