What you will see
Vapi is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 16:39:40 local time, the Moon hides 29% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 15:46:45 and ends at 17:28:27, 1 h 42 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 35° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Vapi.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,231 km south-west of Vapi.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 2,504 km west, where totality lasts 3 m 26 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
