Dear Rashida ji,
To me this lichen appears to be a fruticose lichen Ramalina farinacea. This is one of the commonest tree- inhabiting species. The thallus is strap- shaped, flattened,  grows in tufts - erect or pendant ( 3 to 10 cm long) and is grey-green in colour. The thallus is similar in appearance on both sides.
Rashida ji, I don't know its exact size. From its look I am able to gather that it is Ramalina sp. If you have a close up of branches may be we can see soralia.
Regards

Thank you M'am for this very interesting explanation. I have cropped the pic. and attaching a close-up, hope it is of help.

regards,
Rashida.    

[Inderjeet Sethi]

Yes in the close up we can see soralia on the margins of the thallus. These are reproductive structures consisting of soredia (algal cells + fungal hyphae).
