I think looks different at other sites:

https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:115178-2

I think it is Guzmania lingulata (Scarlet Star)

Garg ji,

As per this website the differences between two species are given below

https://livetoplant.com/what-are-the-different-types-of-guzmania-plant/

1. Guzmania lingulata

Guzmania lingulata is one of the most common types of Guzmania plants. It has glossy green leaves that form a rosette, with a bright red or orange flower spike that emerges from the center. The flower spike can last for several months, and the plant can grow up to 2 feet tall.

2. Guzmania monostachia

Guzmania monostachia is another popular type of Guzmania plant. It has narrow green leaves that curl at the tips, with a red or yellow flower spike that grows from the center. The flower spike can last for several weeks, and the plant can grow up to 1 foot tall.

You can see narrow leaves with curved tips in my plant.

Garg ji, I finally agree with you, yes G. lingulata

G. monostachya has spike-like inflorescence
