    It is doable...
    Sell your 1030 for around 3000INR. And purchase the following...
     
    Corsair cx450 - 3859INR

    The CX series is way better than the VS series.
     
    The sellers at AliExpress usually send the expensive items labelled as gift or the show it as a low value item. So, you will not have any import taxes at customs office.
    As the card arrives, take it apart, and reapply the thermal paste. The sellers at AliExpress put some crap thermal paste onto it which results in bad temperatures. I have purchased several rx570's from AliExpress in the past, just telling you by my personal experience.

    If you have money to spare, get an AMD hd 7850 or something off of ebay (I got one for $50) and sell the gt 1030. The 1030 is more expensive and has a lower performance. You might not want to if you have g-sync, a low-power slot (hd 7850 does require external power), or not enough physical room.

    You should have just kept saving for a refurb 1050 Ti from EVGA - they have them on their site for around $150-175 from time to time.

    Yes it can 'work' as in... it can function, but whether or not you'll get any benefit whatsoever is probably more of a "no". 

    As far as I'm seeing, there are not many games these days which use PhysX, and generally you're better off letting the main/single graphics card handle everything rather than offloading PhysX to a much older worse card.

    However, I have a pair of Titan V's in my main rig right now since I was trying to mod them to enable NVLink and by default Nvidia Control Panel set the 2nd one to PhysX. I have noticed roughly 30-45% higher FPS in Witcher 3 with this setup than I got with SLI 1080 Ti's - and I know Witcher 3 does use PhysX for some of its physics effects so it's possible that having a 2nd current-gen card for PhysX is helping but I would not at all ever recommend anyone buy two $3000 graphics cards to use in this way.
