Whiur ble I dont know if you can have your barrel changed from a legal perspective, the process of changing a barrel is fairly straight forward.
You unscrew the old barrel from the action, and screw in a new one. Check the headspace, and you're good to go.
In India, my guess again is that this would be done at IOF.

any reason for changing the barrel?
best to go to gunsmith or check out the 315 threads to see what other members have done.
you can do it but would need to have some know how and tools.

Lucky that the Barrel did not blow up.
I think you will have to apply for a NOC from the Commissioner of Police and then proceed with the repairs.
