I am from India and there are zero 2242 or 2260 M.2 256 GBs available here. I have this motherboard, I was wondering if it was possible to fit a 2280 in it. The specifications say upto 2260. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

No you can't. It's one of the issue of that Z170I board. Only fits 42mm and 60mm long M.2 drives. There were however some that used double-sided tape to mount the longer 2280 M.2 in there, but, that's not recommended of course. Better look at the MSI Z270I Gaming Pro AC -- that one was updated to support up to 2280 M.2.
