you can either apply for OCI or PIO -

take a look at HCI website for supporting documents and application process

https://www.hcilondon.in/oci.html
https://www.hcilondon.in/pio.html

alternately wait until January - these routes are due to be merged into one and an announcemnet is expected at the PBD 2015
