Seems like all savarna castes in North-Central India have 15% Steppe ancestry at minimum.
So-called untouchables or dalits from Uttar Pradesh have about 10% Steppe ancestry as well.

In South India and Maharashtra, it seems only Brahmins, CKPs and a few castes that mixed a lot with Brahmins like Nairs have 15% Steppe. The rest have about 5-8%

I doubt it. No other non-Brahmin caste except Nair shows such a close relationship to Brahmins & North Indians in the South..
You can model Nairs as approximately 50% Namboodiri and 50% Kerala/Andhra non-Brahmins.
