From experience, it is very very awkward to get a visa to go to a conference in India. It is much easier to get a non-conference visa, though you will still need a letter of invitation. I suggest you do NOT get this from the conference organisers.
If you do go for a conference visa, it takes weeks if not months, and the application needs to be approved at State and National government level.
Good wishes
