€87k in Luxembourg seems much lower, on a PPP basis, than €50k in Bangalore. Hard to believe this job is leveled the same. You wouldn't make this move for the annual saving in the short term, unless the company is going to pay for your housing.

However, this new job could be a springboard for "permanent" migration to the EU or the US - is that a goal for you?

Or, if moving isn't a long-term goal, do you think that the Luxembourg stint would serve you well upon your return to India?

Yes, I am considering permanent migration to the EU and potentially the US. However, I'm uncertain how relocating to the EU might facilitate a future move to the US. Locally, I've observed peers with similar experience relocating to the US or EU through visa sponsorship, earning significantly and often not planning to return. I've also interviewed with German companies, but their salary offers are comparable or lower than this. After years of seeking opportunities for international relocation, my family is keen on moving abroad. I also believe that returning from Luxembourg might not substantially enhance my career prospects in India.
