Yes Garg ji, I believe it to be Ficus drupacea (stressing on its typical leaf shape)

( I assume there is a spelling error, and that must have been inadvertently copy/pasted in all instances ).

Regards.

Thanks, Dinesh ji.

Yes, there was a spelling mistake.

Here is further feedback from Chandramohan ji:

"If you have taken the pic in Bhongir fort then it is definitely not F.drupacea! The leaf is not clear in the pic. Most probably it may be F.mollis. Thank lyou.
regards
Chandramohan"
Experts may pl. confirm.

I found these pictures of Ficus mollis at http://www.cefe.cnrs.fr/coev/photos/Flore%20Inde/mollis10.jpg &

Ficus drupacea at http://www.cefe.cnrs.fr/coev/photos/Flore%20Inde/drupacea1.jpg & http://www.figweb.org/Ficus/Subgenus_Urostigma/Section_Urostigma/Subsection_Conosycea/index.htm

From the above two, I think my species is Ficus mollis.
