I think it looks like a Acacia chundhra.

Anil ji

Can we have differences between Acacia catechu and Acacia chundra? I do remember observing both but just to improve our knowledge.

HI, Aarti ji,

Pl. post high res. images to determine the species.

As per efi thread:

I am very much sure that Senegalia catechu, Senegalia polyacantha as well as Senegalia chundra are distinct species.  

The calyx of S. catechu and S. polyacantha are hairy (sometimes sparsely hairy in S. polyacantha); while calyx is completely glabrous in S. chundra

Bark of S. catechu and S. chundra is very similar. Grey white when immature while dark brown to black, fissured when mature. S. polyacantha bark is white, papery, peeling out and armed with several, individual, prickles even on the main trunk (probably the name is because of this feature: poly-a-cantha). Leaves of S. polyacantha are larger than other two species. Prickles in S. polyacantha are yellowish brown, recurved or straight, and about 0.5-1.0 cm long, while prickles in other two species are brown to black, mostly recurved and about 0.3 cm long.

As the calyx looks hairy, I take it as Acacia catechu, as per keys given earlier.
