Only the following species of Cereus are listed in India Flora Online (Cereus hexagonus, Cereus peruvianus, Cereus pterogonus) as per details herein.
Only Cereus hexagonus have distribution in the nearby area.
So I take it as Cereus hexagonus

Not shown as introduced in India for Cereus repandus (L.) Mill. as per 

https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:130627-1
compared to Cereus hexagonus:

   There is occurrence of single species of Cereus i.e. Cereus repandus in Assam (according to Plantes Assam – Current Taxonomic version of the Vascular Plants of Assam by Prof. Sudhangshu Chowdhury). Also Flowering Plants of India – an Annotated Checklist, Dicotyledon Vol.1 (BSI)reported that Cereus repandus commonly grown almost throughout India, but Cereus hexagonus only found in UP.
