Chennai India Return Ex Hamilton $967 Auckland $1033 Christchurch $1059 Wellington $1240

—This is the result of a theory I had. The Jetstar Australia birthday sale included flights across the Tasman from NZ$330 return, and at the same time, Scoot has cheap flights to Asia.

So I looked at Chennai, one of the larger Indian cities that Scoot flies to (I spent several hours in the airport once), and for flights across the Tasman that could be combined to get cheap flights to India!

Naturally these are probably pretty limited, as the various fare buckets could sell out at any time.
