You probably want a Skilled Migrant visa (subclass 175). It can take up to 18 months to get one, unless your occupation is on the fast track list. It's a good idea to go with a migration expert for Australia, as you can waste a lot of time otherwise.
It'll cost about 2110 US dollars for the actual visa, then there's fees for health checks etc., they depend on where you go.
Apart from that, you will need AUD$2105 for your visa plus approximately AUD$400 for health and police checks (though that will vary according to your country of origin). If you wish to bring family members with less than functional English, there are additional 2nd instalment charges of AUD$2925. You will also need to pay for skills assessment before you apply for a visa but I have no idea what that will cost. See: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/e/engineer-mechanical-engineer-2126-11.htm
If you are granted a visa, you will not be required to have any particular amount of money available, but you should be aware that you will not be eligible for unemployment benefits or any type of income support for 2 years after your arrival. You must therefore ensure that you have sufficient financial reserves to tide you (and your family if any) over any rough patches or emergencies, keeping in mind that Australia is a far more expensive country to live in than India.
