Hi,
unfortunately I do not know about repairshops in India.
Zenits are easy to work on. An experienced repairman should have no problem with it.
Here is a link to instructions for top cover removal of the Zenit 12XP which is basically the same camera.
http://forum.manualfocus.org/viewtopic.php?id=13352
On Tom Piel's page you find additional instructions. Those two pages should give a repairman all the necessary info on how to remove the top.

On Tom's site you have to scroll down in the left navigation to "Zenit Repair Project" to find them.
There are not many parts where a grungy area can come from. The lens, the mirror, the focusing screen, the prism or the finder. You can easily check mirror and focusing screen for dirt by taking the lens off.
You can also join the Zenitcamera Group on Yahoo
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zenitcamera/
I think there is at least one member from India - although I have no idea if he is still following the forum.
Hope it helps.
Martin
