What you have to have is a toric contact lens which are specific contact lenses which are to be tailor made for you.
You can have a soft CL or gas permeable lenses.Preferablr soft CL.
In Hyderabad you can go to LVPrasad eye institute at Banjara Hill area.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.

dear XXXXXXX
They would have a separate dept. for this and CL are managed by well trained para medical staff.If you go there and ask for CL you will be properly directed.
Still if you want somebody ,do get back to me specifics.
