CKGS seems to have jumped the gun and prematurely announced this. Not sure why they did this. That pop does not come up any more and Indian embassy websites did not specify they are switching providers again !! 
 

Back to VFS for now :) - Indian Embassy Chicago clarifies CKGS will not be the provider from Monday on facebook.

Kindly note that pop-up appearing on Cox and Kings Global Services (CKGS) website gives incorrect information. Agreement between CKGS and Embassy of India, Washington D.C. and Consulates General of India in USA has been terminated. CKGS is no more authorized to function as Outsourced Service Provider (OSP) for services related to Indian Passport, Visa, OCI and Renunciation of Passport in USA.
