Sorry, the tz database does not contain information about Chennai, Mumbai, etc.
Although you could derive from it a similar string (which would mention only
Kolkata), that would require nontrivial programming.
It sounds like you're asking about access to the MS-Windows time zone registry,
which is not something we deal with on this list. You might try asking in a
Microsoft-specific forum.
