Same situation with 10 year Indian visa. You do not need to migrate the existing visa from an expired to a new passport. You need only to have both passports in hand for immigration purposes upon arrival.

According to poster HMPS there is a $60 fee for the Indian visa once your passport expires. Is this correct?

Agreed. That is what we are told here but have learnt a long time ago that civil bureaucrats sometimes like to give you a hard time SOMETIMES.....

I saw a memo on the board at the visa centre regarding the new 10 year China visa. I was confused to read that it stated that the 10 year visa expires the same time your passport expires. I do not understand why, because Canadian passports expire in 5 years. Wondering how a 10 year visa is even possible if passports expire in 5?
