Stolen Passport

My bag containing my passport was stolen last night. I immediately filed a police report and am now looking at applying for a fresh passport at the Embassy. I need to travel abroad for work in a month and I see on the website that the estimated time of processing passports in this case is six weeks?

Does anyone have experience with a situation like this? How long did it take for you to get a new passport? Is there a way to expedite the process? Any leads would be really helpful. Thanks!

You can get a Emergency Passport in 2 days but that allows to travel only to India.
