Is it possible to implement consume the web api service from web mvc application via dependency injection

Not directly, no. You could abstract the calling of the web api into an interface and class and then inject that class using DI. So something like

public class MyConcreteClass : IMyService
{
public void DoSomething()
{
// calls the web API
}
}

You would then register MyConcreteClass as an implementation of IMyService and your MVC site (controller or whatever) would use IMyService and your DI would inject the appropriate MyConcreteClass
