I became a us citizen way back in 2007. I know my Indian passport is no longer valid. I've tried contacting the Indian embassy with no reply. What should I do with my still "valid" Indian passport? Thanks.
 
Hang on to it! You will need it when you apply for an Indian visa or Indian OCI/PIO status. As a part of the Indian visa process, your Indian passport will be canceled and returned to you.
 
I guess you may have to fill out a Renounciation form to cancel your indian passport. They cancel it and return it to you and then you could use your cancelled indian passport to apply for PIO/OCI/Visa etc.
 
Hi there,

Please inform the embassy of India nearest to you and they will cancell your passport and citizenship, and fromt hat day you can register as Overseas Indian Citizen, that will you give you life time netry to India, and stay for unrestricted.
