The short answer
Yes. Most portals support a group or family booking where every member is added to a single reference and receives the same date, centre and time block. Each applicant still needs an individual form, fee and document set.
How this works for Germany applications
Create the group before paying so that fees attach to the right reference. Adding members afterwards often forces separate appointments.
Carry relationship evidence — marriage and birth certificates — so the counter can link the group quickly.
For Germany, appointments in India run through VFS Global under German Missions in India, with indicative processing of 15–30 days short-stay, 4–12 weeks long-stay. The rule above applies at every Indian centre serving this mission.
