I would agree that generally you will not find hot water heaters/coffee makers in hotel rooms in India, only a limited few hotels offer them. (Oberoi Delhi is one I recall). You can always find tea and coffee in hotel restaurants and room service for hotels which offer room service.
I am not a coffee drinker so can't comment on the wisdom of bringing instant coffee, but IMO to miss the wonderful tea in India and drink tea bags from the US would be a shame! Chai tea with milk, sugar and spices is wonderful and is found everywhere. As it is thoroughly boiled, even street stall chai is fine. All sorts of other great plain teas are also available. (Darjeeling, etc)
