If they acquire Indian passports (legaly), they become Indian citizens. Therefore, they can apply for a US visitor's visa at the U.S. consulate in India.
 
If they acquire Indian citizenship, they can apply for US visas in India. Even if they do not acquire Indian citizenship, but have valid residency in India, they can apply for US visas using the Sri Lankan passports in India.
The requirement is that an aplicant must be a resident of the local consulate's jurisdiction. You do not need to have national citizenship.
