Also Check for the Marantz PM6004 and Denon PMA720AE , Great Amps. for their price

Do not go for NAD 326 or Denon 710/720, they will not able to provide the power you need.
Denon 1510 is best match among your list. But it is above your budget (62k/63k). If you want to go for NAD then at least get NAD 356BEE. Cambridge Audio Azur 651A also a good choice. Alternately you can go for Marantz SR6006 AV Receiver.

its best that you listen to the amps on your speakers. each of those amps have their own sound signatures and only you will be able to tell what you prefer

In kolkata you can also get the option of Creek Evolution 2 integrated amp ... Check that with SKS Traders if possible. Other than that Marantz PM6004 as already suggested will be good option. For Emotiva X-200 you have to pay the duties and customs.

If you are ok into venturing into tubes, Lyrita Tube amp Push-Pull will be a good option along with GM70 integrated SET probably priced around 55K.
