I think it may be D.glabra as per GBIF specimen.

Flora of China says:

Leaves alternate basally on stem, opposite distally on stem, simple; leaf blade drying blackish, usually ovate or long elliptic-ovate to lanceolate, 5--17(--24) × 0.5--10(--13) cm, glabrous, basal veins 5--9, base cordate to truncate or rounded, rarely sagittate or hastate, apex acuminate or caudate.

Dioscorea oppositifolia ?

[J.M. Garg]

Going by distribution in BSI Flora of India, D.glabra is more likely.

BSI Flora of India does not give any distribution in your area for Dioscorea oppositifolia L.

Dioscorea wattii ?

[J.M. Garg]

Who suggested the id?

It seems possible as per GBIF specimens- one. 

But difficult to say without inflorescence.
