R9 270 is the best you can get atm, its tad bit faster than the GTX 580, you will have a bump in performance

If you live in Delhi then Cost to Cost at Nehru Place is selling the R9 270X for 12k. Otherwise look for 270X at a local shop or wait for GTX 950.

I second R9 270.Also would like to recommend 750ti at 11k.Very power efficient and only a little less powerful than R9 270.

Nope, not anytime soon..
First they will launch the flagships 390 390x and 380x .. then after a few months they MIGHT launch the 370X which will still be priced pretty high..
270/270X atm is the best bet, if you can extend get the 960..
if your budget was 25K +, then waiting for flagships would have been okay
