During sales in Flipkart, you get i5 7300HQ + GTX 1050 2GB powered Acer Nitro 5 for 50k. Such sales usually happen once a month. That is good for your budget. You might even get an i5 8300H + GTX 1050 at price during sales.

Most cheap laptops in India lack M.2 slot, so no HDD+SSD combination. So cheap gaming laptops are a good option.
