  Hi Parag,
  
  As far as I have seen in past & in SP/PS2010 alerts, If you look at the alerttemplates.xml file which builds the alerts email from sharepoint, subject is truncated  by sharepoint itself as it builds the email. You  may need to do a custom activity on OnNotification event to build the subject line.
  

  More Explanation for SP2007 but may be worth checking for 2010

  You may want to create a custom e-mail alert handler in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 in any of the following scenarios:

  • Fields, such as the ItemName field, are truncated to 70 characters in the e-mail alert.

  
  Here is a similar thread which might help.

  May be others have better ideas apart from custom code.
