I recently obtained an H1B visa and I'm exploring options to transition my wife from her dependent H4 status to an H1B visa as well what steps can i consider to facilitate this transition for her.

We both currently earning approximately 42 lpa.i will be getting around 85k in usa for the location of texas. but with this H4 dependent visa ,she can't work.

Is this a wise decision to go usa with this onsite package?

We also did the same thing, I got H1B and my husband moved on with F1 visa. We both were earning 46lpa.

You have to get a new H1B for your wife - Not easy.
You need to go through green card process and get an approved I -140. Your wife can get H4 EAD then - Not easy and takes lot of time.
Your combined India salary is good. Why do you even want to go to US ?

What decision did you make as I am in similar boat right now?

I have clearly informed management that I will travel only if I am getting 120k. Now they are ready to pay 100k. If it reaches 110k , i will ask them to search for any project which have onsite opportunities.

Just jumped from 60K —> 110K after 2 years of being very underpaid although being considered a “top performer”.

If you’re on the fence about jumping to another firm or starting to look elsewhere, realize that loyalty is often only skin deep in consulting. Prioritize your career goals, whether they be financial otherwise. Praise and appreciation are nice, but don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about choices you make for your happiness.
