The 32-year-old from Kolkata carded seven birdies over the first 14 holes, leading to a final day best score of 67 and a total of -15.
However, it wasn't all plain sailing for Chowrasia after he double-bogeyed the 187 yards par 3, 16th, and watched Coles make a hash of the par 5 18th, when at least par for the Englishman would have forced a play-off.
Coles, who is still waiting for his first European Tour title, had numerous birdie chances along the final stretch, which he failed to take advantage of. He even left himself a birdie putt to win the tournament at the last, but was heavy-handed with his stroke and missed the return putt for par.
Ultimately, a closing round of 70 wasn't good enough for Coles, who will have nightmares about his final four shots for a long time.
France's Gregory Havret finished in third, a further shot back after his final round of 68, and Denmark's Robert Jan-Derksen claimed fourth spot.
