Basically all visas are possible except tourist visas right now.
But good news, I read an article yesterday from India that they are working on reinstating the tourist visa very shortly.

You need to contact your local Indian mission and ask for your visa to be either validated or a new one issued for essential travel.

are you traveling for tourism or is there any other purpose????
if its only tourism then i don't think that will be validated....if its for business or any other purpose then they may issue you a new visa....

Although the introduction of legislation to resurrect or re-install visas which might otherwise be valid would carry the level of complexity beloved by Indian civil servants, i can't see it happening. ditto compensation payments or the gratis issue of new visas.
I'd like to be surprised by the goodwill of the MHA: but i reckon this is something we are going to have to suck up.
