The last session will end on Sunday with a great victory in the first Test.
Starting the fourth day at 159 for one, home captain Virat Kohli scored 217 for two before scoring 377 for five at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
An impossible win would have to chase the biggest success in the history of Test cricket, with New Zealand failing from the start and 93 for four at stumps, still lagging behind the huge target of 341 runs.
Luke Ranchi (38) and Mitchell Santner (eight) will return on Monday in the hope of preventing or at least delaying India's victory in the first match of the three-Test series.
Ravichandran Ashwin (3-6), who dismissed four frontline Kiwi batsmen in the first innings, proved once again why he is considered India's leading spinner.
Off-spinner Martin Guptill caught the first ball of his second over for zero and Tom Latham (two) for the fifth ball.
Ashwin took his 200th Test wicket, dismissing New Zealand captain Ken Williamson (25) leg-before.
Ross Taylor (18) then ran out to alleviate the plight of the tourists.
In the morning, Williamson attacked with spin from both ends and his slow bowlers did not disappoint him.
Left-arm spinner Santner trailed Murali Vijay by 6 runs in lbw, ending the right-handed batsman's second century with Cheteshwar Pujara (6).
Kohli did not feel comfortable against Santner but off-spinner Mark Craig dismissed the Indian captain when he tried to slog-sweep which got Ish Sodhi at deep midwicket.
Sodhi hits with a nice delivery in the next push that rolls from the outside leg, the outer edge of the puja bat falls into Ross Taylor's waiting hand.
Ajinkya Rahane (40) missed his fifty but Rohit Sharma and Rabindra Jadeja were left out of the competition to bat for New Zealand in unbeaten half-centuries and unbeaten centuries.
Sharma, who scored 35 in the first innings, remained unbeaten on 7.
Jadeja, who scored an unbeaten 42 in the first innings and claimed five wickets with a left-arm spin, played a good match.
In celebration of the bat-spinning, Southappa hit three sixes on his way to his second Test fifty.
