I think it to be Agave sisalana, native of Mexico, widely cultivated elsewhere, commonly known as sisal, sisal agave, sisal hemp ... but I am not sure if there is OR are any other close species.
I have one photo at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2095496158/

Hi, Ranjini ji.

Pl. check if their are prickles at the margins of the leaves to determine the species as per keys available under http://keys.lucidcentral.org/keys/v3/eafrinet/weeds/key/weeds/Media/Html/Agave_americana_(Century_Plant).htm
