He only conquered the Indus valley. When he attempted to move into the rest of India, his army revolted - they had been fighting for 10 years and were not going to be pushed into further endless battles - they wanted to go home. He was unable to persuade or cajole them otherwise, so home they went.

Where in India did Alexander the Great turn his back to?
The story is that he was set on conquering India, and his army jacked up on him at the Jhelum River, having been fighting for ten years and wanted to go home. It was just as well as King Chandragupta was in the process of conquering eastern India and had an army which would have crushed Alexander's force if they had collided. We have to wonder if Alexander's army had heard about this and it was this factor as well as homesickness which provoked their mutiny.

How far did Alexander the Great go into India?
To the Indus River, in modern Pakistan :)
Why didn't Alexander go past the Indus River?
After ten years of warfare conquering the Persian Empire, his army had had enough and wanted to go home, and mutinied, seeing no reason to pursue Alexander's obsession with conquering the whole east of the world, which he thought ended in India. Alexander revenged himself on them by taking them back home on the coast road, where desert and hostile tribes killed off most of them.
Did Alexander the great discover India?
I am not quite sure exactly what is meant by that question but I believe it is a no. India was already discovered and known of. Alexander, after conquering Persia, set out to conquer India. He arrived in the plains of northwestern India, fought a brutal battle, and conquered that part of India. He planned on marching on to conquer more of India to the east, but his army refused to go on since they were fought year after year non-stop. So Alexander had to turn back and didn't go any further into India.
Why did Alexander's empire include Central Asia but not India?
It did not include India because when Alexander's army got to the Indus River they refused to go any further. They had been fighting for 11 years and had march thousands of miles from home. Alexander's generals and men wanted to return to their own lands and no one really knew much of the area beyond the Indus River.
