The lightest area is the range of North Korea's short-to-medium range missile, the Musudan. In terms of operation range, it's 2500-4000km. Not really a west coast threat, but still enough to devastate Beijing, Tokyo, southeastern Asia, and southwestern Asia/parts of India.
The middle area is the range of the Taepodong 2, NK's long range missile. Its range is closer to 10,000 km. This opens up an entirely new, longer list of in-range population centers. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, not to mention the dense European capitals. While Mumbai is probably not a primary target of KJI, it certainly could prove to be a leverage point considering it has a staggering population of 14 million. Delhi could also be a WWIII bargaining chip, weighing in with 12.5 million residents.
