Apply for a passport directly. It can take many months from India, plan accordingly.

If both parents are British citizens, the only choice is a British passport. It has been reported to take six months to a year when applied for from the Subcontinent.

Note that as the child is born outside the UK, any children born to that child (your grandchildren) outside the UK will not be British citizens. British citizenship only descends automatically to one generation outside the UK.
