NYC metro area is definitely becoming Indian faster than any other kind of East Asian, I think that flow has slowed down significantly in the past decade and has been taken over by Indian and South Asian immigrants. Same goes for the Philadelphia metro region, there are Indian ethnoburbs forming all over the place.
I assume you live in Central NJ, which, yes, has Indian-dominated areas. But I can't imagine that 85% of people on any NJ Transit route are Indian, or South Asian.

On the NY side, there are plenty of Indian enclaves, especially in Queens and Nassau, but I can't think of any area that is absolutely dominated by Indians. Certainly no subway or LIRR line will be Indian-dominated.
