A long time. See USCIS website and Visa Bulletin

First off, nobody can sponsor citizenship.

There is sponsorship for a Greencard only.

A US citizen can sponsor a GC for a sibling, but that takes 12+ years. See the monthly Visa Bulletin, Family category 4.

Yes, it is not that complicated. But, it would take at least 10 plus years for your sister to get GC. Hope you are aware of that.

The basic information is listed in the Department of State monthly Visa Bulletin.  The permanent residency family based fourth (FB-4) preference category (India) for brothers and sisters of adult U.S. citizens has a backlog of ~ 13-1/2 years.  (You cannot sponsor your sister's children.  They could only be sponsored by your sister once she was a permanent resident (and they were unmarried), and then it would be another ~7-1/2 years (currently) for them to get permanent residency.)
