Yes looks like C. rumphii based on free limb of megasporophyll being narrow and with indistinct teeth.

I am not sure if this is rumphii or circinalis.

Circinalis is found in India in wild.

I have seen plenty of Cycas rumphii in the Andamans.  It is not this species.  Let us wait for expert opinion.
