I would suggest you to share some more info about the car - age, variant, any accidental repairs in the past, place where you use the car & since when did you notice the mileage drop? based on these info, our forum's experts can give you good advice.

Check with Air filter,Fuel injectors,EGR valves.
Also ensure clutch has enough life to it.

I believe clutch is not as smooth as it was. Also it releases at the end (i.e., have to press the full clutch and releases right when i take the foot off the clutch). But the mechanic at hyundai service centre suggested it will last another 15k to 20k kms.

Okay ,what about other parameters.

Normally all parameters need to be checked during the Periodic maintenance service interval.
If your SA has a good relationship with you ,he will care your ride like his own ride .
Ask someone to drive the car ,you stand back ,and notice ,with shifts of 1st and 2nd gears ,does the car produce uneven black smoke or any other variation in Smoke colour and amount .
If so it needs a EGR valve cleaning (EGR -Exhaust gas recirculation )

When was the last time MAF was cleaned ?

Did as suggested but there wasnt any black smoke or any such variation in smoke colour.
Honestly dont know if it's been ever cleaned or not. Though got the throttle body cleaned using a spray , that's sprayed on the air filter.
Is MAF also cleaned using a spray? What would be the appropriate way to get it cleaned?

Yes, there is a dedicated spray for MAF. Sometime throttle body cleaner can also be used. Just be careful not to damage the sensor.
While you are at it, Check O2 sensor also. If possible, reset ECU.
Max percentage of time low FE in diesel is caused by bad or failing fuel injectors. Since you say yours is good, then it is ruled out.
Are you sure that SA used SAE 15W40 engine oil ?

Did you use an Air filter Oil Spray to clean Throttle body ? If Yes, Get it cleaned ASAP. Since it's oil based spray it'll interfere with Sensors. Throttle body should be cleaned with alcohol based dedicated cleaners.
What tire pressure you maintain? did you try inflating your tires recently?
