Yes, there is a way out. You and your wife can give special power of attorney to any of your close relatives to get your wife's share transfer in your name by registered document by paying appropriate registration and stamp duty .

You can enter into agreement of Release Deed with your wife.
Thereby you can get sole ownership on your property in Mumbai.
And consideration amount you want to pay her as permanent अलिमो can be paid to your wife.

with reference to your query

You can ask your wife to execute a gift deed in your favour and register the same. Gift deed can be executed by your wife in USA and the same can be registered through power of attorney in Thane on her behalf.

Gift deed will attract less stamp duty as compared to release date.
