Problem with this is if upgrade is not possible, I would have been far better off buying the tickets in $$ rather than miles (I will need to dish out 140K miles for a $1200 ticket).

India in saver is nowhere near 140k. Where did you calculate that..

RT "Regular"/Standard Award (since no Saver is available but hoped for in the last 24 hours) for NA-India is 2 x 70K, hence 140K as OP stated.
