If ear is consistently dry, you could opt for cauterisation of the perforation edges which will trigger growth. Cauterisation could be using a chemical like Silver Nitrate or using a LASER.

You are welcome to come down to Bangalore for the same if nobody gives you that option. It is a simple office procedure.
