It is not possible to share a fifo file with multiple OpenSIPS instances.

How we can run MI fifo commands on both opensips instances to get statistic ( like active dialogs, rcv_requests, rcv_responses etc) on each of the running instances separately.

As Robert said, you need to start OpenSIPS with different fifo files[1] 
and specify the it to for each call:

OSIPS_FIFO=/tmp/opensips_fifo1 opensipsctl ps # PS of first instance
OSIPS_FIFO=/tmp/opensips_fifo2 opensipsctl ps # PS of second instance

Of course, you can write a wrapper that calls each time both of them.
