Possibly, some horticultural variant of Chlorophytum laxum.
(I am not an expert).

The land simple and the water bountiful
The trees gigantic and the walls very small
And in the valleys strong and multiformed,

Possibly variegated Spider Lily Plant : Hymenocallis caribaea 'Variegata' ??? . Need to wait till it flowers to confirm.

Thank you Mr. Mahadeswara. Looks like it is Variegated Spider lily,
Hymenocallis caribaea 'Variegata'. Leaves look similar. The other spider lily plants are flowering in abundance. If this one flowers, we could be sure. Will keep you posted.
Mr. Harikrishnan, it's unlikely to be Chlorophytum laxum, since there are other Chlorophytum plants around which are all in bloom. They are also producing spiderettes. The leaves of this plant are much thicker than Chlorophytum.
"Plant for ID: Bangalore: 6th June 2021 : It is not yet 6th June ????" - Sorry, my bad. What can I say? I'm a bit ahead of the times:)
Thank you and warm regards

Thanks to you all.
Yes, it may be as suggested by Mahadeswara ji as per Pacific Bulb Society, which says:
"Hymenocallis sp. was originally on the mystery bulb page. Brad M wrote: "this variegated Hymenocallis has been grown in Australia for many years. It's rather tropical in its growth, and stunts in cold weather. I cannot decide if it's Lilium caribaea or Lilium littoralis. Do you know which one is more likely here?" Discussion centered around the lack of good information about the genus. One source from Australia thought it could be Lilium littoralis. Photos on the internet that may or may not be correctly identified show variegated leaves in both of those species."

Thank you, Mr. Garg. Would you know if it blooms regularly?
The other Hymenocallis plants with green leaves are blooming vigorously. But, I am yet to see a flower in these variegated ones.

I have seen this plant flowering during May in Mysore. Last month also it flowered in my friend's place. Hope it will flower in your place (Bangalore ?) during the next season.
