What Smartphone should I buy in ₹10-16K range (preferably 6+128GB)?

Very limited choices. Poco/Redmi Note series or some Moto or the other. Occasionally a upper-midranger Xiaomi around the 20k mark. I don’t keep track of the latter as they pale in terms of VFM compared to the former. Plus Moto used to void the warranty in case of bootloader unlock unlike Xiaomi. Dunno if anything has changed in this regard or not. 

Maybe the Oneplus Nord 2 Lite? can attract some attention from the devs but I don’t care for it’s specs.

I guess Poco F4 (not the GT variant ) might become a developer favourite. SD870 is still excellent (and SD888 due to poor thermals is only a little better although much bigger delta when it comes to graphics perf. ). But I will wait for some more months to see if SD8 G1 Plus or the SD8 G2? are sufficiently improved by switching over to TSMC nodes or not.
