Many thanks to those who replied to me on and off-list on this subject.

There were a number of options - but not all were low-cost (or at least not 
for beekeepers in S India!).  Essential, given the high-humidity climate, 
seems to be  a dehumidifier - perhaps the most expensive item.  If that is 
available, then exposing a thin film of honey to the dry air is a relatively 
easy thing to achieve, perhaps by using rotating discs in the top of a tank, 
or by continuously dipping and raising boards in the honey, or by using a 
simple pump to circulate the honey over a board that drains back into the 
tank.  Fans - readily available -will speed the process.
