Going through FRA remains an option, but the India-Germany market is suddenly flush with capacity due to Air India's growth using FRA as a transatlantic gateway. The fifth freedom traffic to be had would not be sufficient to sustain the route through there.

B747
AC was sometimes stopping to refuel in Sweeden [ i think] Just plan to do this stop all the time and offer direct service to BOM. Also they could use a 767 lots of them around these days.
Or refuel in Gander YQX then the flight is only 10,800 km.
