I am working on project push to talk over wifi hotspot or wifi direct in real time, but I am unable to connect more than 10 devices through one hotspot as android given this limitation. but I want to connect 40 - 50 devices, so can anyone tell me that how can I connect with multiple devices, So that one message can be delivered on all 50 devices in real time from one device without any router or additional hardware.

That seems like a tall order considering the limitations are more to do with the WiFi components than the OS. The only possible approach I see would be to dynamically connect/disconnect the WiFi connections and cycle through each of your 50 connections. Doing that in a timely fashion and without killing the battery in the process will probably be quite challenging.
