For signing the rent deed you have to come India as the place of execution of the document is very important. The place of execution of the document is mandatorily required to be mentioned in the deed. Since the rent deed in India will be notarised and notary will verify the signature of landlord and tenant.
However, as an alternative you can issue a Power of Attorney in favour of any person in India who could execute the rent deed on your behalf. The Power of Attorney must be notarised by notary public and consularised or apostilled by the Indian embassy in the country of your residence.
