If an official "new" solution PDF isn't available, here is how you can still solve every problem in the latest edition of Puri and Babbar:
Form a study group of 5-6 students. Divide the 12 chapters. Each person solves 5 problems, scans their work, and shares it. You will generate a custom "new" solutions manual that is error-checked by your peers.
The "new" PDF you find might be a renamed old file. If your syllabus includes graphene or topological insulators (unlikely in Puri & Babbar, but possible for advanced courses), the old PDF will be useless.
Unlike standard international textbooks (such as those by Kittel or Ashcroft & Mermin) which often have accompanying instructor manuals, older or region-specific textbooks like Puri and Babbar rarely have publicly released, official solution manuals.
If you are searching for a "new" PDF, you are likely looking for something that does not officially exist. Publishers generally do not release answer keys for student consumption for this specific title. Therefore, most PDFs found online labeled as "solutions" are usually:
Many Indian physics educators (e.g., Physics Galaxy, Dr. R. K. Mishra, or IIT professors) have playlists literally titled "Numericals from Puri and Babbar - Solved Step by Step." Search for:

Watch the video, solve along, and create your own handwritten PDF notes. This is arguably better than a static PDF because you get explanation, not just answers.
The Puri & Babbar textbook covers core undergraduate solid state physics topics; solving its problems reliably requires systematic use of symmetry, approximations, and limiting-case checks. Modern developments (DFT, topological materials, 2D systems) extend classical topics and provide contexts where textbook methods remain foundational but are augmented by computational and experimental tools.

If you're unable to find the specific solution manual you're looking for, consider the following alternatives:
New or Updated Versions:
If you're looking for a new or updated version of the book, I recommend checking the authors' or publisher's websites for any announcements or updates. You can also try searching online marketplaces or bookstores for the latest edition.
While there is no single "new" official solutions manual published as a standalone article, several academic resources and student guides provide worked solutions for Solid State Physics by R.K. Puri and V.K. Babbar . Problem Solutions and Resources
Worked Problem Sheets: Detailed solutions for numerical problems found in the text, including calculations for atomic packing factor, interplanar spacing, and Fermi energy, are available on Scribd. The "new" PDF you find might be a renamed old file
Entrance Exam Preparation: A research-oriented collection of solutions covering electron gases, heat capacity, and crystal lattice bands can be found at Academia.edu.
Video Solutions: Step-by-step video walkthroughs for exercise problems from Chapter 1 and onwards are hosted on this YouTube Playlist.
Full Textbook Access: The complete textbook, which contains built-in problems and basic theoretical derivations, is available for digital borrowing on the Internet Archive. Key Topics Covered in the Book
The text is designed for undergraduate physics courses and covers: Crystal Structure: Lattices, bases, and Bravais lattices.
Specific Heat & Electrons: Derivations for electron gases and heat capacity.
Modern Additions: Newer reprints include expanded sections on Logic Gates and updated physical models. (PDF) SOLID STATE PHYSICS SOLUTIONS - Academia.edu
Your college library likely has a Teacher’s Manual for S. Chand books. Ask your professor if they have access to the "Solutions to Numerical Problems" booklet (some coaching institutes prepare these internally). Professors are often willing to share scanned copies of a few chapters for academic purposes.
