you can try to unlock directly at your current stable rom, somebody able to do it while i can't do it and should move to dev rom to unlock.
if you failed to do it at current rom, you can move to dev rom using miflash and ofc using fastboot rom. if you should move to dev rom to unlock, choose LP rom since MM rom have forced encryption feature by default.

Once unlocked bootloader and flash twrp.
You don't have to take help of PC or any other thing.
You can always do it on the phone itself.
Boot into twrp by pressing upper volume and power button.
Wipe everything except storages (internal or external)
And then install the ROM zip file and gapps file accordingly.
Do it for any rom

any rom can be install from phone through twrp directly but this is for rom other than miui.
if you install the global stable miui 8 official then its gone. your phone will brick. the bootloader, since is unofficially unlocked, your phone would stuck at mi logo.
now if you wanna install miui rom without any such kinda loss, you see this video: the madthing he explained everything.
download a patched miui 8 rom that will support unofficially unlocked bootloader and will not cause any problem. and it supprts volte too.
or if you want the real miui 8 global rom back . this has to be done by pc.
Install miui 8 patched directly from twrp recovery. [easy one with extra features and safe and volte supported]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1U1T5gBzbI
Or install the stable miui 8 global offiical rom by pc method. doing everything again. [hard one, success not guaranteed but mostly works. follow each step correctly]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YijIOh9b3mY
his would definetly help you.
do give a thumbs up if you found it helpful

Tried to unlock bootloader, but the stuck at 50% saying unable to verify device something.. so tried logging into micloud and making hte device active.
Will try it today.
So after unlocking bootloader, just flash TWRP using adb commmands and flash SuperSU??

Thank you... I tried to unlock it on global stable rom but not able to do it(stuck a 50%)
Can i just download and 6.9.15 global developer rom and flash it using updater and try unlocking the bootloader or is it necessary to flash fastboot rom only.

If you do it by installing global dev kenzo ROM by mi flash then it may get stuck at 50-60℅ as happened to many here.
I have also experienced it. It got stuck at 40℅. It may happen.
It can say not enough memory to continue or whatever ****.
Leave it don't panic. The ROM has partially been installed.
Now cmtry power off. Or click on boot edl mode. Now directly click unlock bootloader .bat file which I provided. And then click on flash twrp. Bat file.
You phone will automatically boot into twrp and now go last tab of last second row, got to globe icon and change language and now go back and wipe everything.
No wiping internal storage if you have kept any ROM there. But I suggest wipe everything.
Insert a micro SD card or USB otg containing any ROM (because you need to boot up at least) and then flash it along with proper gapps.

You phone will boot up and now if you want you can go again to twrp and install a proper ROM of your choice. Or if you want stay there. Boot loader unlocked twrp flashed and everything done.
