She needs to apply from her home country and enrol biometrics in home country.

You cannot complete the whole process within the UK on her behalf if she is abroad.

I am aware I cant complete the whole process here and she needs to provide biometrics in india , But still can i start an Online priority application on her behalf from uk ?

The average wait times are about 2-3 months from within India but if applied from uk I can opt for priority visa which will be within 2 wks

You can't do priority service within the UK for an application from abroad.

You can help complete the form online etc, but she will have to do the whole process abroad and pay for priority there if available.

Priority service abroad is also not guaranteed either.
