Scholastic India is a subsidiary of Scholastic: http://scholastic.co.in/en/about

You'll notice their url on the back cover of the Scholastic India books. My guess is the reason for reprinting them like this is it's a new market for old books and it's cheapest to reprint them almost the same as the originals. (Meanwhile, for the US they are focusing more on promoting the new series and movies etc).

For the recent publications with the original edition covers, I believe most of those are from the Retro Tin collections (so it's a nostalgic/25th anniversary thing) and a few others were sold in target at one point. Other than the tins and the target editions I don't think Scholastic is bringing back the original covers for most of the books - instead, they are being reprinted as Classic Goosebumps.
