I think it would be ideal if you go for an i7 based laptop rather than a i5 one. That also means you will have to spend a bit more.
Buy Asus R510JX-DM230T 15.6-inch Laptop (Core i7 4720HQ/8GB/1TB/Windows 10/2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M Graphics), Glossy Black Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.i

Yes this is way way way over your budget but it should be worth it.

Else,

HP 15-ac034TX M9V14PA Core i5 (5th Gen) - (4 GB DDR3/1 TB HDD/Windows 8.1/2 GB Graphics) Notebook Rs.43199 Price in India - Buy HP 15-ac034TX M9V14PA Core i5 (5th Gen) - (4 GB DDR3/1 TB HDD/Windows 8.1/2 GB Graphics) Notebook White SIlver Color With Diamond & Cross Brush Pattern Online - HP : Flipkart.com

I just couldn't find any non-u(low power) series i5 in this range. Ideally for VMs it's best you run them on a Laptop. Also don't expect 3-4 hours battery life when you run multiple VMs at the same time.

Personally i would choose HP one for 8GB Ram since you are going to use it for VMs.
