Up your budget a bit and get this:

Asus X55C-SX161D Laptop (3rd Gen PDC/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS) - Asus: Flipkart.com

Check local prices. You can get a cheaper deal. It has 3rd gen ( 22 nm ivybridge) Pentium dual core and is perfect for web development.
Just upgrade the ram to 4gb during purchase and you're good to go.

This is a better buy than celeron dual core laptops as it packs good processing power.

Also consider this:

Samsung NP300E5V-A03IN Laptop (3rd Gen PDC/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS) - Samsung: Flipkart.com

It has a ULV version of Pentium dual core and inherently has better battery backup.

@Vickybat

Thanks for these suggestions.
Aren't there any AMD based laptops? AMD would be cheaper than Intel based laptop I suppose

At this price range, there aren't any viable AMD options. All you get are c60/c70/E12** based brazos cpu which are far far less powerful than 3rd gen pentium dual core here.
Actually this laptop is even powerful than the 32k AMD A4 5000 quad core based laptop.

3rd gen Pentium dual core touches the performance of a 2nd gen core i3 and has better per core performance.
The IGP (integrated graphics processor) is good too.

You need better processing power for web development above anything else. You simply cannot go wrong with a 3rd gen PDC.

Try out your local market for both of these. Get which ever you can get cheaper there won't be a lot of difference since they are more or less the same.
