I believe you could try:

/^[^@]+\.[^@]+@[^@]+\.(com|net|co\.in)$/

let pattern = /^[^@]+\.[^@]+@[^@]+\.(com|net|co\.in)$/;
let testEmails = [
    "abc.def@tcs.co.in",
    "abc.def@tcs.co.uk",
    "abc.def@tcs.com",
    "abc.def@tcs.net",
    "abc.def@tcs.xyz",
    "charles.x.markus.bukowski@company.com",
    "firstname.lastname@gmail.com",
    "name@gmail.com",
    "lastname@test@gmail.com"
];    
for (let i = 0; i < testEmails.length; i++) {
    console.log(`Email ${testEmails[i]}: ${pattern.test(testEmails[i])}`);
}

Start matching from the beginning of the string

[^@]+

One or more characters except @

\.

Followed by a dot

[^@]+

Followed by one or more characters except @

Followed by @

[^@]+

Followed by one or more characters except @

\.

Followed by a dot

(com|net|co\.in)$

With the string ending in com, net, or co.in

If you want to restrict the input further so that there is only one dot in the firstname.lastname portion, you can change [^@] to [^@\.]

/^[^@\.]+\.[^@\.]+@[^@]+\.(com|net|co\.in)$/

let pattern = /^[^@\.]+\.[^@\.]+@[^@]+\.(com|net|co\.in)$/;
let testEmails = [
    "abc.def@tcs.co.in",
    "abc.def@tcs.co.uk",
    "abc.def@tcs.com",
    "abc.def@tcs.net",
    "abc.def@tcs.xyz",
    "charles.x.markus.bukowski@company.com",
    "firstname.lastname@gmail.com",
    "name@gmail.com",
    "lastname@test@gmail.com"
];    
for (let i = 0; i < testEmails.length; i++) {
    console.log(`Email ${testEmails[i]}: ${pattern.test(testEmails[i])}`);
}
