The free requests for google maps Javascript API is 25,000 requests/day. Can anyone please elaborate on what is considered as a "request" while usage of google maps? Is it the number of map loads or interactions made with the map (zoom in,out,markers or so) or anything else?

According to the doc, you are allowed to have 25,000 map loads by day.
A map load is defined as :
A single map load occurs when:
- A map is displayed using the Maps JavaScript API v3 when loaded by a web page or application;
- A Street View panorama is displayed using the Maps JavaScript API v3 by a web page or application that has not also displayed a map;
- A single request is made for a map image from the Static Maps API; or
- A single request is made for a panorama image from the Street View Image API.
The degree to which a user interacts with a map once it has been loaded has no impact on the usage limits [...]
So, zoom in / out, or number of markers has nothing to do with what you call "request".
