How about checking with VMWare?

Seriously though, I think we all agree that the things cost different amounts in different locations and that's life. The alternative is to not take the class/test if you don't want to pay for it. I don't think there is anything more to discuss here.

If the course is served by a third-party, and if it not in their website, I am sure that SpringSource will tell you which are the local agencies and their contact info. You can start at the Vmware SpringSource Certification Page.
For India, you might get lucky by googling for the course, and contact that course center.
In Singapore, the cost is the same.

As with everything else their pricing is done to maximize their profit in any given market. That's the price you pay for living in a free market economy. US developers are going to benefit a lot more from getting the same spring training as their Indian counterparts. US developers get to gain more, so VMware can charge more
Remember that VMware provides spring for free. Training is the only way they make money. They provide free learning tools on their website. You don't have to get that certification. They don't stop you from using spring if you don't get that certificate. However, if you do then, $3000 for certification is not that much considering that once you become a spring expert you get to earn that money back in couple of months.
