If you are beginning, save your carbon fiber (CF) blades, and go for cheaper wooden ones.

Get some semi-permanent thread-lock glue.  Consider the fact that you may lose your servo gears in crashes.

As far as radio is concerned, there are lots of choices in that price range, checkout local stores like RCDhamaka, IndianHobbies, RCForall, Rotor etc (just to name a few, there are more in our mega list at http://www.rcindia.org/rc-outlets-and-resellers/mega-list-of-all-rc-outlets-in-india/)

Thanks Anwar & Heliflyer for your suggestions...BTW what's your opinion about Spektrum DX6i Radio for CopterX450AE v2 Heli...or is there any better option available in that price range?

Dx6i is a very good radio however only has 6 channels you can get 8 channel radio in the same / less price check out walkera E2081 or its WK2801 don't remember but check it out really nice radio being used by a fellow flyer Lavneet here in Gurgaon has all the features of a Spectrum DX7

Airtronics 8channel is a good choice at similar price range.  And there are more cost effective radios coming up from the Airtronics line in the near future. 

A life time radio for a heli flyer needs 7 channels (the 7th one for governor on nitro helis).  But for your CopterX type of use, any 6 channel with CCPM mixing should suffice.

Entirely a matter of personal choice, finally !
