Is it possible to fetch records for timezone from tz database in following UTC format to construct timezone drop down?

Sorry, the tz database does not contain information about Chennai, Mumbai, etc. Although you could derive from it a similar string (which would mention only Kolkata), that would require nontrivial programming.
To my understanding, the string that can and should be displayed to end users is "India" (there being only one entry for "IN" in zone{,1970}.tab, with - naturally - no description comment saying what subset of India it applies to), not "Kolkata" or the names of any other cities.
