if they want to make full use of those artifacts then they'd only need one piece of every kind and sell the rest, take a picture of them too to post as a portrait = profit

why would they need to do that? india's a 3rd world country sure but their projected to grow 9% this year alone. and since when does the world get to decide on what any country classifies as an artifact?

UNESCO/ICOMOS can do that. Well, only if the government/owner applies for the treasure to be protected by international treaties regarding heritage, but yes, they can.

One aspect I read was the cost of guarding such treasures, now that they're known about and exposed.  Who is going to pay for that?

Usually the owner, though some private exhibitions can get money from the state if their collection fulfills certain conditions.
