DL employs married segment logic on awards and has for sometime. If there is no award availability on a through itinerary involving a connection, it will price as a broken fare award using multiple fares. It is trivial to check whether or not you are getting a broken fare by simply clicking on the fare rules. The 120K fares are CSM1200's single through fares. Not really clear if that is the new low for India or if they simply don't have inventory in lower through fare buckets at this time. It's not unusual to see the lower award buckets zero'd from time to time on flights to Australia, so the same could be true for India.

It's much easier to get a definitive list of through award fares to Europe by searching month-by-month using various non-stop itins (no non-stop's to India, so you can't employ that technique there). Here are the current European levels for J which is down to 5 (from the previous 6 levels). There's also an 85K level for partner over-water awards.

CSV700 70K
CSL860 86K
CSH1100 110K
CSM1350 135K
CSY2250 225K
