I cant make out the first two tree pics, but leaves in 3 - 4 pics look like Adansonia digitata to me.

Please post a complete branch picture and search whether there are any flower or fruits on the tree. 
One suggestion please check with species of Barringtonia

I will go with Pankaj ji in guessing it as Adansonia digitata with gross observation of the leaves.

I still have some doubts if it is a Adansonia..
leaves too smooth and glossy..

Leaves are indeed smooth and glossy in Adansonia.
