What is theatre command
A joint command, termed in military parlance as a ‘theatre command’, places the resources of all forces at the command of senior military commander. For eg, a 'theatre command' in the east will integrate components of the IAF and the Army and also have flotilla of the Navy integrated with it
Wider consultation for firm tie-ups
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday ordered a more comprehensive and wider consultation for laying down procedures to select Indian companies to be strategic partners with foreign companies to produce weapons, systems and military equipment in India
With China having re-structured its military commands in October last year, the Indian Army – the biggest of the three armed forces — has been told to work on a long-term integration with the IAF and the Navy to have joint commands.
The bi-annual Army Commanders’ conference commenced in New Delhi today with the Army top brass listed to discuss a host of issues related to operations, threats and future planning.
Sources said China-style joint commands were a long-term plan and the top brass of all three forces had been told to discuss the issue among themselves. The IAF and the Navy have already completed their conferences. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar visited one such joint command in Chengdu China on April 19.

For example a ‘theatre command’ in the east will integrate components of the IAF and the Army and also have flotilla of the Navy integrated with it. At present, the only joint command is in Andaman and Nicobar.
The Army Commanders’ conference is the highest level ‘Army conference’ held to discuss current internal and external strategic issues, review of operational preparedness of the Army and aspects pertaining to training, administration, military technology and force modernisation. The conference will culminate on 30 April 2016.
Meanwhile, addressing the Army Commanders’ conference, Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag stressed the necessity to maintain a high degree of vigil and operational preparedness along disputed borders.
He complimented commanders and troops in successfully executing recent counter-terrorist operations, while displaying due restraint.
General Suhag, who visited the exercise Shatrujeet over the weekend in Rajasthan, stressed the necessity of speeding up the Army’s modernisation and capability development initiative. He stressed all commanders to continuously monitor and maintain internal health, values and ethics in all formations and units.

I don't understand why the MoD is still sat on the 3 new tri-service commands that have been proposed (Special Ops, Cyber and Space), India is crying out for them.

Theater command is OK but will each theater have its own nuclear command structure

Nope, the Nuclear Command is under Unified Nuclear Command Stucture, and is not related to Theater command.
