No, not based on your kids if that is what you are asking.

I think OP is asking about ILR eligibility FOR his kids, not his own based on the kids

You can not apply for ILR based on the status of your children, if that is your question. You will need to complete five years of T2G (or 10 years of ILR LR) and meet their requirements to get ILR.

Once you have ILR, your UK born child can be registered directly as a British citizen.

The status of your elder child born in India will be in line with that of the less-privileged parent and s/he will be eligible for ILR with the ILR applicationof the less-privileged parent. So, what is the immigration status (with dates) of the other parent?

I think the OP could also be thinking of the old 7 year rule that allowed ILR after seven years of residence for children, but that was abolished a few years ago (2012, perhaps?).

See also Can children and parents apply to remain after seven years residence?

Thank you all for your kind replies,

My company is going to close in April 2017 due to internal problems among directors.They asked us to look for any alternative and its difficult for me to find another sponsor. Please advice if there are any ways to extent or settle my stay.I like this country and it will be difficult for my family to go back.

You either have to find another Tier 2 sponsor or your spouse will have to find a sponsor or look into Tier 4 student visa if either of you qualify.

There isn't a route to ILR based on your children.

Thanks CR001 for your advice,

Is it possible for my wife to go on Tier 4 from my dependent,
I thought Dependent to Tier 4 switching is not possible from In country.
I will try for another sponsor if not i shall think of the above advice.

Many thanks

I understand that she would have to apply from home country.
