Could be Litsea wightiana- more brown hairs and veins are bold, leaves are darker green, edges are curved.

Thanks a lot, Robi ji.

[J.M. Garg]

If we go by leaf veins, it looks closer to L. floribunda as per http://www.biotik.org/india/species/l/litsflor/litsflor_en.html rather than L. wightiana as per http://www.biotik.org/india/species/l/litswigh/litswigh_en.html

Also similar posts are identified as Litsea floribunda (Bl.) Gamble in efloraofindia as per images herein.

Pl. confirm or otherwise.
