6 months of marriage ending in divorce. What's the expected alimony?

I got married last December in Chennai , and I'm filing for divorce due to mental torture from my wife. She keeps yelling at me and bad mouths me to everyone.

She's been living with her family for the past month, and when we sent a legal divorce notice to her this month, she retaliated by filing a police complaint and accused me and my family of harassing her for dowry (my family has NEVER asked her anything) and that I'm sexually and physically abusing her (again a lie)

If I file for divorce in court, I'm pretty sure she's gonna file a lot of fake cases against me like dowry harassment, mental, sexual and physical abuse, along with degradation of personality.

My salary: 2.5 lakhs per month

Her salary: 25k per month (she just started working again since quitting her job last October for the marriage)

Marriage duration: 5.5 months

Children: 0; she's not pregnant as well

Given this situation, how much would the court ask me to pay as alimony/compensation if I file for divorce?

Please advise.
