Hello,

Is this Furcarea? I will be obliged if someone can confirm the identity.

This is not an Indian plant and someone has brought it from abroad. SO, I am not in position to mention any locality or date of collection. 

Thanks in advance,

Rajendra

Sir,

As per "botany of Bihar and Orissa", Agave sisalana has very short ascending caudex. It is possibly Furcraea sp., the common species is F. gigantea Vent. I attach herewith screenshot from Haines's book.
