Nice catch Prashant. You seem to have enjoyed two great trips in short span.Waiting to see many more Andaman species.
It looks close to Sonneratia alba but not aware about the differences between other species.

It is Sonneratia alba, as in Sonneratia apetala only four sepals are
seen.

Good shots Prashant ji. This is Sonneratia alba. Have seen the same at Salim ali bird sanctuary, mangroves at Goa with a signage in Sep '10. Attaching the same.
