Yes it matches well with G. bulbifera (Pall.) Salisb.
The specimen at Kew (shown in your link of POWO) was determined by Shyamali Dasgupta who has also written Fascicle 23 of Flora of India which included Gagea. I checked the description in this document which matches. Bulbiferous cauline leaves are characteristic feature here.
Species is known only from Himachal Pradesh in India. It may be a rare species as Dasgupta mentioned only two specimens - E.R.Johnson at CAL, and J.R.Drummond at Kew. Both must be very old. Flora of Himachal Pradesh has not mentioned this species.
