Yes Satish Ji it is Curcuma pseudomontana / Hill turmeric.
My friend photographed the same species in Rajgadh,( dist-Pune ), in June 2010. Attaching the pic.

Dear Neha
I am not sure if your plant is Curcuma pseudomontana. Was it summer?
or it rained already?
Second plant as shared by Neil sir looks different to me too as stated
by Mr. HS.

@ Nalini:
YES YOU CAN...
Nalini, when you get them in Indian grocery stores, try to pick the
ones that look as if they would sprout... then put in a pot with the
synthetic gardening soil, lightly water, cover with a net, or
perforated plastic fabric, put it in a tray with pebbles and a little
water to make its air humid, put the whole contraption on top of the
refrigerator... will get enough heat to create a humid environ for you
Haldi... it will sprout ... and get you green leaves... may not get
the flowers... but green turmeric leaves to boost your spirits... it
does mine !!!

@ Neil...
beautiful... awesome ...

Was the leaf sessile and arising from the ground?
Any information on flower color?

Hi H.S.,
  Fair enough. I can accept that you have your reservations, but it would be nice if you could substantiate your claim by posting some of your own photographs.
  Dr.Almeida and his student Santosh Yadav have in the recent past visited my farm twice and they have had no such issues with this. Infact, it was on Dr. Almeida's insistence that I have taken photographs 1 & 2 [reproduced here]. During any monsoon season [between June to October] I have at least a few hundreds of these flowering on my property and they look all the same to me.
                          With regards,
                           Neil Soares.
