The prices that I know of:
-> 256 MB pen drive average range: Rs 1500 to Rs 2200 -
depending on name of the company. If you add fancier things
like an mp3 player to your usb drive, current costs I have
heard is Rs 2300 to Rs 2800 - again depending on the
company name.
-> DVD-R DVD+R: Rs 15 to Rs 43 - depending on quality.
Suggestion: go for Moser Baer or Sony. These are usually
compatible with most DVD writers out there.
-> DVD+RW: about Rs 150
-> Dual layer DVD : Current market price Rs 400. Wait for a
while - the prices are reducing.
-> DVD writers: LG dual layer = Rs 2300

And to add to Sudhanwa's comment: Of course DVD's have a
much higher storage to price ratio.
But try comparing the overall size, the requirement of a
separate writer, a suitable power source and so on.
The "USB" part of the pen drive is what makes it so
immensly popular.
