right time to join avaition industry..(please) help

Hii all ,
This is my first post ...for past few months i have been visiting this forum and only thing that came into my mind after reading posts is to go for any industry except Avaition especially for flying...
I hope you experienced guys out here willl prove me wrong...

I am a resisdence of delhi,india ..having 7 years of industrial experience in automotive...after my 4-yrs engineering in 2002 n am at an age of 30 years.
Now i really want to know the feasibilty for me to change my career direction towards flying at this age.
Kindly help me regarding following points...
1.How much it cost to get a CPL ,ATPL & Type rating in india or abroad(as cpl is not enough to get a job in current scenerio).
I know even a type rating cannot assure a job n 1 need to be prepared for the situations (long wating time)mentally and financialy.
2.Age factor.
3.Which institute to choose in india .

I have been exploring scopes of aviation in future ,ups and downs of this industry for past few months..
It would be great help for me to take decision.
thanks in advance..
