You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment.

There are options other than hair transplant that you can go for. You need to start daily use solutions and can get platelet rich plasma injected into your scalp. Hair transplant is the last option and is preferred for stage 5-6 male pattern hair loss, whereas yours is stage 3. With topical solutions and PRP you can get near complete regrowth of hair.
As for hair transplant (FUE), cost is usually 30-50 rupees per follicle (depending on where you go) and you would require 4-6 thousand follicles for the crown area alone. You will also have loss in the temple area, that would be another 3-4 thousand follicles each side.
