Indian passport renewal in usa

Hi- I am renewing the current Indian passport in USA which will be expiring in next year Feb-2026.

Question I have is

1) Can i put USA address in new renewed passport?

2) In my current passport , I have Indian address mentioned where we used to live in 2016, but I left india in 2016 and never went back to india and both of my parents expired and we have vacated the rental place where my old address is printed in passport.

So can I provide my relative address which is in different district and please note I don't have any proof in address where my relative lives.

Please let me know what all documents needed for this?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the process of renewing an Indian passport while residing in the USA. Key questions revolve around whether a US address can be used on the new passport and how to provide an Indian address when the applicant's previous Indian address is no longer valid and they have no proof of residence for a relative's address. The consensus is that an Indian connection address is still required for renewal, even without a current physical address or proof in India.

Even though you don't have any address in India as you are still an Indian citizen you are required to give some Indian connection address for renewal.
