Mahroof: We followed up on this pricelist. Turns out it is bogus: they are refusing to give any map using that pricelist, saying that maps don't exist, that list is out of date, etc etc.
But I like Nisha's basic idea: we get hold of the pdfs as and when we can, and digitize and put them in the public domain. We have done it for Bangalore. Maybe same location can be used to archive for other towns as well. I can provide files for Nelamangala and Ramanagara. Slow process (if you think of the number of towns in India :-)) but what else to do?
