I think it's probably A. tenerum, commonly adventive in India, especially in the South, and with characteristic, rather rectangular segments.  If so, where the stalk joins a segment there is no short black extension along the bases of the segment.  So you'll need to send a close up of one or two segment-bases so we can see that.

Many thanks, Garg ji and Chris ji.

I am hoping that the attached cropped photos will be of some help.

Dear Sir,

     Well I can't see the shape etc. of an individual frond among the mass - and it needs a close-up of a segment base as well.   But it is pretty clear it is Ad. tenerum.  I think I would have mentioned this species in volume 1 of my Annotated Checklist of Indian Subcontinent Pteridophytes (2016).

Best wishes,

Chris Fraser-Jenkins (chriso...@yahoo.co.uk).
