You may check if the selected sku is available in the region you selected by running the below PowerShell script

Get-AzVmSize -Location southindia

If not, select a different region in which the sku is available and try again

Hi Mau Philip,

Yes, I could see in other few regions, why it is so, what needs to be done in case if we want to disable grade when I want machine in particular region only?
second question, I know availability zone and set concept, But what is this new concept of "Virtual Machine Scale Set"?

Thanks

The selected sku is not available in the region selected and that's the reason why the option looks grayed out. This expected as sku availability in all azure region is not same. Virtual machine scale set is the facility available in virtual machine instances as explained here: virtual-machines-scale-sets
