Here are a few options you could consider:

1. SE Live with Walkman (Its available at sulekha for 13,650) Pretty solid piece with good features. GSMArena link

2. Moto Defy (Will have to check locally as OL its OOS. Battery lasts for a bit lower time on stock, but if flashed with custom ROM it could be tuned to your needs.) GSMArena link

Hope it helps & do update here on what you finally bought.
