Day VFR Airports

[MES Drvr]

Do they have DVFR Airports in India? If they do, are commercial operator's allowed to fly from these Airports. If they do not have such Airports, is there a provision in the Regulations for these Airports to be to be built and certified for operations?

Yes they have a few such airports, Tuticorin (VOTK) in the far south being one of them. Commercial operators are flying in and out of them every day (weather permitting of course)

I wouldn't be able to quote you the CAR which sets out the requirements for operations to such an airfield but maybe someone on here can point you in the right direction.
