As per marcus, 4 teams have been identified for NT friendlies, 2 will be confirmed in next two days.
Due to WAFF championship, we can rule out West Asian nations & Thailand. Russia will be playing 2 away games against Turkmenistan & Laos. Even Tajikistan playing against Hong Kong.
One possibility is Iran/Uzbekistan hosting a 4-team tournament (something similar to last year Nowruz Cup). 1st round Iran vs India Uzbekistan vs Kyrgyzstan
Final: Winner of Iran/India vs Uzbekistan/Kyrgyzstan

1st round

Uzbekistan vs Kyrgyzstan
Final:
Winner of Iran/India vs Uzbekistan/Kyrgyzstan
3rd place: Losing teams from 1st round.
I don't think Iran will travel to India. (I desperately need that match to happen though, due to personal reasons
Maybe SAFF or ASEAN teams as usual.
