There is no doubt that the 'old' flight times for India (when there was only 1 flight a day to DEL and BOM) were bad. There is no doubt that the late (9pm) departure to BOM is much better (I note that the later DEL flight now goes at 9pm also). The best flight time back is to leave India at about 1-2pm and get back about 6pm. You don't have to get up too early and you can work on the way back if you need to. There is also very little jetlag the day after.
