Most of those origin- destinations have transits

HAV can be tricky to get to.
FJ is Oneworld connect, so limited ff partner of OW airlines
QF fly YVR-SYD non stop, then SYD-MEL
LLW a unusual destination. (I have been there decades ago) ET & AI are not Oneworld. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamuzu...tional_Airport
QF does fly SYD JNB, South Africa. QR Qatar fly's to many African airports
OW doesn't fly to LLW, unfortunately. Harare might be your closest option.

Your itinerary needs a crossing over the Atlantic and over the Pacific, and MAA-YVR would be considered Pacific. Even if you force a stop in Europe between MAA and YVR, the OW RTW tool doesn't let you go to Harare and then back to Chennai, although that may be legal in practice.
