I think EWR-BLR is more likely than SFO-BLR. It's not as far and the Himalayas will make SFO-BLR very challenging. They could fly a SFO-EWR-BLR-EWR-SFO routing so they could use a 789 (like they do with IAH-SYD to get a 789). If SFO were to get an Indian destination, I think it would be BOM or DEL because these markets have more traffic and are not quite as far. BOM has no nonstop at the moment, so it's definitely possible.
