Switch is definitely coming to India in 2027; Nintendo is doing an official promotional event there in early September:

With the console coming to both India and Indonesia, will that be enough to reach 160m before Nintendo discontinues it? It makes me wonder when they will announce its discontinuation if they're expanding into new markets in South Asia.

NS1 is NOT going to be discounted anytime soon.

#1 NS1 is doing over 2 million before launching into new terrority
#2 NS1 is the only budget console available right now, outside of their 1st world countries you realize that most people around the world just do not have $500+ dollars to invest into entertainment, thats before games and additional controllers. 
#3 Nintendo (or Sony or Xbox) is not going to launch in a major new country without the next few years being set aside for the console to grow and develop. Launching in a new country requires a lot of hiring, marketing, planning, manufacturing, collaborating. Unless the console sells next to nothing, Anyone who is in business knows that Nintendo already has the next few years planned out for expansion and growth. Launching a system in a country takes a lot of time, effort and money then simply repackaging an already manufactured unit and shipping it to retail.

Personally, I expect the NS1 to continue being manufactured past 2030. Even if only a few million units are produced a year.

Edit: For the record, I am not a Nintendo gamer, have not been since i was a kid, never owned a NS1 or 2 and do not plan on buying one.
