So far I have been using only Spring MVC + Hibernate to create a web application. Also, I have some boilerplate to assist the service layer accessing the database and finally display the report or result as PDF / HTML. Should I incorporate Crystal Reports ? If I do where and how it fits in this scenario ?
I'm not sure how Crystal Reports would fit in, as it is not for Java, and only runs on Windows.
You should look into using JasperReports, as it is similar to Crystal, and Spring has some built-in integration points:

You can use libraries of SAP to integrate crystal report in spring mvc.

I am new to PowerBI and I need to generate PowerBI reports from the ASP.NET application.
How can we integrate PowerBI in .NET applications in order to generate Power BI reports? I tried PowerBI desktop version and created reports. How can PowerBI reports be generated through .NET applications?
I would recommend looking into Power BI embedded documentation. The resource contains several tutorials on how to embed a Power BI report in your asp.net web app using azure.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/overview/azure/powerbi-embedded?view=azure-dotnet
yes you can integrate in your asp.net application, by the way u can imbed this in every cross platform weither its asp, php, python etc etc, so here is solution,
Publish your dashboard to your PowerBI Online.
Goto your Online PowerBI and view your report then
2.1. Goto File Tab.
2.2. Click Publish On web.
2.3. Copy Embeded code/ iframe and paste iframe code in your application.
No dear its not possible to create power bi reports from .Net platform however you can integrate power Bi reports to your .Net Application via iframe after publish online, you can find this procedure here, i just recently post answer here,

Please go through this blog. The author explained step by step in visual representation.

You can see this blog in which you can implement the crystal report in ASP.NET MVC razor.

We have created forms in crystal reports using ASP.net and SQL database which display forms in PDF format. However, we can’t control the generated PDF reports like some options that user can select/unselect one form creaed in PDF. We are looking for an alternative solution that would give developers more control over generated PDF reports. We love Crystal Reports and how easy it is to design the forms and looking for something similar that would enhanced UI and provide more options for developers
My suggestion is to use the Microsoft ReportViewer control to process RDLC reports (do not need to have an instance of the Microsoft Reporting Server installed) and then export the report to PDF. See this (Save RDLC reports as PDF programmatically) to discover how to export to PDF.
This way you get a powerfull reporting engine for free.

Happy coding!
A good starting point is this wikipedia page.
Given that you are using asp.net with existing Crystal reports, Telerik Reporting should definitely be worth a look.
Also, given that you are using a Microsoft technology (and particularly if your SQL is MS SQLServer), it could be worth investigating SQLServer Reporting Services.
Also take a look at DoddleReport
Out of the box it can render reports to Excel, PDF, HTML, and CSV – fully pluggable of course.
If im a web developer and some of the feature of my site is display a crystal report , Does a Web user in the outside world should install any Dlls to see the report ?
I know that in WinForm he should. but i dont know about web approach.
Short answer is No. Crystal Report's Web interface will produce dynamic content of Html/Css/JavaScript.
I want to be able to somehow get reports out of my Sql Server database in an MVC application. I could have developed a way to do that using xml and then transform it to fo and rendered it via an fo processor to pdf. But that would require being able to have the fo processor installed on the web server, and I'm using a web host, so that's probably not going to work.
So I've seen Reporting Services mentioned here and there. Does that include the possibility to create pdfs? And if so, how do you use it in an MVC application? I tried before to mix webforms into MVC application (if that's necessary as I've seen implied) but couldn't make it work. The routing didn't seem to recognize the web form page...
Or is there any other easier way to create pdf reports from Sql Server data? I should also mention that I only use Linq (and the Entity Framework) to access data, so hopefully there is a solution that doesn't require me to know Sql stored procedures etc...
Any help appreciated!
Take a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/ a c# port of the iText open source java library for PDF generation. It is relatively straightforward to create simple PDFs using these libraries
