Before answering your query, I've couple of questions to ask from you;
Will the car be kept parked for 10 Months or it will be used by some one else?
Now, Your top priority being low maintenance and availability of spare parts under the budget of Rs.15 Lakhs, I would suggest you to look in for the Chevrolet Cruze. As it's currently available in diesel version only, It will depend on your running whether the car is going to be used heavily all the time or only for the two months when you come back to the country.
On the practical side, If the car is going to be used only for the 2 Months in whole year, Look for a cheaper option like Maruti SX4, (instead of spending that much amount) which is available in petrol and you'll not have to worry about the spares and maintenance cost because it being a Maruti Suzuki Product, Dealership network and Service stations won't be an issue as well.
However, If you are keen to buy a car above Rs.10+ Lakhs, Toyota Altis makes another worth considerable option but don't forget to Test Drive all these cars before making a final decision. Also, Could you please answer few more questions asked here which will help us to suggest you a perfect car.
