LG Optimus 4X HD P880 - may exceed budget a bit but a good buy.

Buddy you can buy a rechargeable battery bank to charge on the go..
Sony CP-F1LSA Portable Charger Review - Mobile Phone | ThinkDigit Reviews

You can charge multiple devices using this instead of spending on an additional battery which has to be put back into the phone to be charged..

I'd have suggested Google LG Nexus 4 16GB as that's the absolute best phone available at 25K
but OP needs replaceable battery

Ya, try to get Galaxy S3. There should not be a problem finding batteries(even higher rated batteries)

Look out for Xperia SP, One X or if One X+ fall in your budget then it is a great option IMO. Can also check out S3
