Tourist visas are valid for six months from the date of issue, and cost around $30. Processing takes from one day to one week
If you apply in a country other than your home country a telex charge is applied to your application. This can range from $5 to $50 depending on the embassy where you apply. This process takes a week.
If you would like to stay in India for longer than six months, you will need to leave the country and apply for another visa. Getting another visa after you have had two in a row may prove a little difficult. Kathmandu is a good place for this at the moment.
