Here is the response I got from consulte. Even Mumbai apologized to for making him get local PCC. Looks like we may relax.

Yes you may bring the PCC only from the Indian Consulate/Embassy in the US.

Importance: High
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am expecting my Employment Based Immigrant Visa interview somewhere in August. Presently I am working in USA & this case is under process by National Visa Center.
For this interview I have already obtained the Police Clearance Certificate from Indian Consulate in USA. They issued this PCC after making proper enquiry from concerned police stations in India through passport office.
All my efforts to get police certificate from different local police stations (in various states) of India, where I lived in past, has failed. The general response is police stations are not authorized to issue such certificate.
My request/question is whether the PCC issued by Indian Consulate in USA (which is issued after making proper query in India) is sufficient or not. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards
