Recent US Citizen, upcoming India travel. How quickly can I get US passport and Indian visa?

Thanks speakamericano for your inputs. Greatly appreciate it.

Does it help anyway to shorten the timeline if renunciation is applied along with Visa ?

I have no idea if Travisa would accept renunciation along with visa. From my experience, Visa is applied at a different line than the Renunciation. In San Francisco, there's 4 guys working on visa applications, but there's only 1 dude (the bald guy) working on Renunciation/OCI/PIO. You can try calling them, they are much better than the consulate at answering phone calls. If their line comes busy, keep trying. If you're on hold for more than 10 minutes. Keep the calls going and try from a different phone. Sometimes you can skip the queue by calling from 2 phones at the same time. Good Luck~!!
 
I'm also looking for the same information. I'll be taking my oath next Friday - May 6th and I need an Indian visa by the 15th. Am in NY. I read in a previous post that someone from NY did the whole process between taking oath, getting new passport, the SC and a visa in 3 days.

Reading the NY Indian visa outsourcing company, it seems they accept Renunciation form and visa form together which is a relief. I'm hoping I can get my US passport by the 9th and drop it off to them. But am scared they won't give it back to me by the end of the week and I really have to travel (not to India though, that's later, but I won't have time to do it again).
I thought this immigration nightmare would end with my oath, but it seems to just be endless
