Yes, I agree it is Lepisorus amaurolepidus - but in my opinion that name is a synonym of L. contortus.  For Lepisorus we need to see close-up photos of the rhizome-scales (often visible better towards the growing tip of the rhizome).  They have a central reddish-brown solid stripe in L.  contortus.  But anyhow the closely buched fronds and shortish rhizome are not like the well-separated ones of the only other South Indian species, L. nudus, which has a longer rhizome and concolorous brown scales.
