It will also help to know what your battery voltage is. 25Kg/cm is not all that much torque, you can get that from a 550 motor geared down about 20:1. Without knowing all the information, I suggest a 100W scooter motor with chain reduction or a cordless drill gearmotor; they are available at low cost and can deliver the torque and speed you want.

In Australia, drill motors are about the cheapest motors to use. The sort of item I am talking about is this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ozito-14-4v-cordless-drill-pack-/131096194605?pt=AU_Power_Tools&hash=item1e85f12e2d . Can you find something like that in India?

If they are too expensive in India, then you might be able to get a scooter motor like this:



They run at 2,500 rpm so you will need to gear them down by 5:1 to work in a bot.

The other option is a car windscreen wiper motor. They have plenty of torque but may be too slow. They are also hard to mount wheels to, but you can possibly get them where you got your starter motor.

India? That makes the P&P insane, even if I wanted to send you motors for free. (Belgium, oeps)

25kg/cm, that is 0.25kg/m /2.45Nm.

Any wipermotor salvaged from a decent cars wreck will give you that, and buckets more, and to get the wished for 300 rpm, use bike chain, a 6-1 gearratio should do nicely.
