Sorry, it is not possible to do PhD in English after the completion of Diploma course. To pursue PhD in English, candidates must have secured a Master’s Degree in English with a minimum of 55% marks from a recognized university. The candidates will be admitted to the PhD program through an entrance test and interview. So the aspirant should first study BA English and then MA English to do PhD in English. One cannot pursue PhD in English with diploma course. The PhD in English is available in various institutions in India.

I am sorry to say that you cannot pursue Ph.D course at this instant after the completion of Diploma course.
Candidates those who have completed their Masters degree in relevant field from a recognised University with a minimum of 55% of marks in it are eligible to opt for Ph.D courses.
You must complete your Masters degree in order to do Ph.D course.

Sorry, to say that you are not eligible to do Ph.D in English after completion of your three years Diploma course from a recognised institute. To be eligible to pursue Ph.D course, you should have to pursue Bachelor's and Master's degree course after completion of your Diploma course. So, being a Diploma holder, you are not eligible to do Ph.D course in English without pursuing Bachelor's and Master's degree course.

PhD in English cannot be directly done after diploma because minimum qualification required to pursue PhD is Masters Degree any discipline from a recognised University with at least 50% marks and 5% relaxation is given to the candidates of reserved categories.
There is no upper age limit.
To pursue PHD you have to complete graduation and then Masters Degree then you will be eligible to pursue PhD otherwise after diploma you are not eligible.

You can't pursue Ph.D on the basis of a diploma qualification. You need at least a degree minimum to become eligible for such programs. In fact, most of the universities ask for a post graduate degree with at least 55% marks for becoming eligible for entrance exam.

Hence, at the moment you are not eligible for Ph.D admission in India. Just make sure that you complete post graduation before applying for any Ph.D entrance exam.
