Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hello, I am from India and got married in 2006 and since then my wife has been under depression and on medication. She had regular attacks of depression and that disrupts the entire life of various family members (including her parents). She was under depression before marriage as well but their parents did not disclose the same at the time of marriage. Recently she has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by a good mental hospital in India. I have asked her parents to look for a mutual divorce which they and my wife, both have rejected. She has not been staying with me for last 8 months and all her attempts to come to my house has been rejected by me. However, since she is on medication, she behaves normally but never know when the attack may happen again. What are the legal options and grounds I have for divorce? Is 2 year separation period necessary for getting divorce or can I apply after 1 year of separation? Since I am not allowing her to stay with me, can I apply for divorce after 2 years of separation?
