Hello friends

Saw this tree in a resort complex in Hospet, KA in October 2019.

Guess, this is Swietenia macrophylla
Requested to please validate.

At the outset it looks like S.macrophylla as suggested by  Saroj ji.   Nevertheless,  please check the   e-flora site for the difference between S.macrophylla  & S.mahagoni , as they look alike  in photographs.  Need to check the measurement of leaves and  fruits physically for proper ID.
Here in  Southern Karnataka there are plenty ( as avenue  trees) in my place (Mysore).  But Forest department nursery mentions it as S. mahogany.

Thanks Mahadeswara ji.

The main difference as per efi is the size of the leaflets and I think, based on the same, this is S. macrophylla.

Would greatly appreciate feedback from others as well.

Thanks and regards
