Any Idea if there might be any more upgrades like the Planned Super Flanker Program? Or is it going to be decommissioned soon?

No idea, my best guess would be they're to be decommissioned in around a decade from now ?

Unlikely to upgrade the Mig-29s'. IN seems to be getting the Rafale-M and IAF's love for foreign maal will only want them get more Rafales. Hopefully, GoI doesn't screw up like the Mirage 2k and actually sets up a production line for the combined requirement of IN and IAF
