How long does it take to get a new Indian passport after being robbed in Spain? - Young woman with curly hair getting carton box out from trunk of automobile while cheerful ethnic man carrying box into new home in suburb or countryside area

My wife's handbag was stolen in Barcelona, near the cathedral when we sat in the bench around 9 pm. It's an Indian passport with Hungarian residence permit, 200 euros, all gone.

We filed an official complaint at a police station at Las Ramblas and that's about it. We were told to contact the Indian embassy first. We did contact the Indian embassy, but we were told to come to Madrid from Barcelona to apply for a duplicate passport. The Hungarian consulate in Barcelona gave us a letter stating she can enter Hungary from Spain (should be accepted by the airline, Wizz Air). She can't travel until she gets Indian passport.

Does anybody know how much time the Indian embassy takes to issue a duplicate passport?
