I'm facing a problem on coolant. When car is running, on dashboard "check" symbol blinks. When I see the coolant box, coolant got consumed for 200-250 kms run.Sometimes car stops all of a sudden and engine get overheat. How to rectify this problem plz suggest and also approximate cost.

If you are losing coolant and cant see where it is leaking from , a pressure test should show up any external leaks . If that does not show up fault there are other possible causes , like sticking thermostat ,choked rad. etc.etc.But first step would be to check for leak. Impossible to estimate till you find out what is needing replaced / repaired.
