This is possibly a Paspalum species, similar to P. urvillei Steud which is a S. American species, related to P. dialatum Poir.  And perhaps present/introduced in India.
Thank you

As per the same "checklist", a related species Paspalum dilatatum Poir. is reported from Assam (page 212).



Thank you.

Paspalum urvillei, Paspalum dilatatum, Paspalum longifolium, all these are highly variable with several intermediate forms too. Probably they are result of cultivation, hybridisation and polyploidy and also spread through imported cattle breeds. Sometimes these grasses also take giant forms with giant spikelets and upto 1 cm broad rachis. However, with the characters in the photograph, one would go with P.urvillei
