This superficially appears close to images of Dioscorea villosa as per POWO, FOI, IBP, EFI.
But POWO (however, shows many specimens of its syn. Dioscorea sativa L.) and CoL does not give its distribution in India. 
FoPI also lists Dioscorea sativa L.

I feel there is some taxonomic confusion. It may be Dioscorea bulbifera L. (syn: Dioscorea sativa var. elongata F.M.Bailey; Dioscorea sativa var. rotunda F.M.Bailey as per POWO and Dioscorea sativa L., nom. cons. as per CoL) only.
