Answering my own question for others help: A sample fare which costs $77 as lowest fare currently, the baggage fare costs $185. The other major pain point is that you have book this fare locally with jet office in Newark. If not there then call you local travel agent. And when you do that - the local agents do not even know these fares. The jet rep did not give the fare code for this rate.

Ok. So update on baggage allowance for domestic India flights (with the new rules)..the the majors have sunk to a new low:
1. Jet Airways/JetKonnect: 15 kg (economy) / 30 kg (business)
2. Air India: 15 kg(economy (K,Q,V,W,G,L,U,S,T,X & N) / 20kg (economy Y,B,M,H)
35 kg (business)
3. Indigo: 15 kg
4. Spicejet: 20 kg
Spicejet seems the best of the lot now.

4. Spicejet: 30 kg (excess is Rs.250/kg) (per the FAQ
Passenger travelling on SpiceJet domestic Sector and having connection on another airline to/from an international destination, Free Baggage Allowance as permitted by the International Carrier will be given maximum upto 30kgs, provided:

FlyingReturnsClub: WeightConceptFlights - PieceConceptFlights
TheMaharajahClub: 20kgs - 1 piece up to 23 Kgs
GoldenEdgeClub: 20kgs - 1 piece up to 23 Kgs
SilverEdgeClub: 15kgs - 1 piece up to 23 Kgs
FlyingReturns Base: 10kgs - NIL
As even the base membership gets 10kg excess allowance, AI would seem to be a good option as well.
PS: If the PNR doesn't have the FFP # listed, the excess baggage allowance is revoked.
