Are you certain that the SHT11 is not available in India? Have you checked with our distributor:

They can buy any of our products with a distributor discount.
And to answer your question, I believe the Sensirion humidity sensor is fairly unique. It's got a friendly serial (pseudo-I2C) interface with pre-calibrated output over a wide range of humidity. What you pay for in this case is ease of use and reliability. Depending on what you need to measure, you may be able to get away with a low-cost, uncalibrated humidty sensor. Some of these humidity sensors quit working properly after a while - another thing to look out for in your search.
