Hi, Shivkumarsingh,

STEP 1: Copy all the .xap files which you want to install in your Windows 8 phone to your SD card.

STEP 2: Now go to Start -> Store -> SD card and wait for few minutes for all the .xap files to be loaded.

STEP 3: Select the app which you want to install -> Select Install option.

STEP 4: If your apps are compatible then you can see them in the Compatible apps list if not it will be shown in the Incompatible apps list.

STEP 5: Once you have successfully installed the apps, you can see those apps listed in the Apps list from start.

    Turn on sideload apps on Windows Update -> For Developer.

    After that, you just transfer the xap or appx to the phone and open it

    Do you have an idea how to isntall an app such as OneDrive with a xap file? 

    The app is visible in the local apps, but the install button is grayed out.
