For turkey You can either opt for an E-Visa or a VOA (visa on arrival) if you have U.S visa or schengen visa.
In case you haven't received your E-Visa before arriving in Turkey, you can visit the interactive kiosks placed in Turkish airports.
Now if you don't have either of it then you need a proper sticker visa. (Processing time is Minimum 10 - 15 working days including the day of submission at the consulate. Also you need to request atleast 2+ days than your no: days stay in turkey. eg: if your trip is for 10 days then visa request should be at-least for 12 days)
Turkish embassy are there in
1. Mumbai
2. Delhi
3. Hyderabad

I applied from Kochi and which is coming under Consulate General of Turkey, Mumbai, Maharashtra. I applied through VFS because when I enquired I got to know in India they accept the visa application through 3rd party and it is VFS. Anyway for me VFS Kochi was the easiest option. (Even if you try to apply through some agency you have to go there for submitting the documents.). Total cost was for visa application for single entry visa 15 days - 4270/-INR + 4201 /- INR (VFS fees) = 8471/-INR. You can see the complete details here
