Growth plates have not completely fused yet, so some increase in height can still be expected. However, expecting an additional 2 inches may be overly ambitious. You have already reached the expected height based on your parents' height, and 5 feet 10 inches is above average for an Indian male.

Apart from knee xray, xray of pelvis is required to determine number of years of growth left. Along with that blood workup to determine hormonal status is also required. No role of ankle xrays.
Next Steps
visit orthopaedic surgeon

It is more than 90% fused, you should wait for 5 yrs more sometimes natural growth can increase your height more.

It's almost fused, what looks visible in xray is your growth plate scar. Further growth may not be possible.
