Hello Shivam,
For being a pilot, you need minimum 35 lacs in India from a good flying club. But, if you need a job also, you have to do few more courses which will cost you around 70 lacs in total.
All the best.

Yes, there are 2 options. You can enroll for a commercial pilot course or you can join Air force.
You need to keep in mind that there are restrictions on age limit, if you want to fly. So, it's advisable to start the course of commercial pilot as early as possible.

To be a commercial pilot, you have to obtain a student pilot license (SPL), then private pilot license (PPL) and then you may get commercial pilot license (CPL).
There are many flying schools in India, which offer these courses. But, the fact is that it is a rich man's game.
