Dinesh ji
Perhaps a longer branch should help in confirmation. E. neriifolia has flowers and spines borne on a ridged stem. This looks like E. caducifolia.

Dinesh jee,
 
If you have an another photo of the whole stem, It will add to the confirmation of the ID.
 
And based on its habit, there is an equal chance for Euphorbia nivulia Buch.-Ham. if its a small tree  and spines are very short. This species is very common around Harishchandragad.
 
Or else, Euphorbia caducifolia Haines, as suggested by  Gurcharan jee.

Gurumurthi Hegde

Gurcharan ji, I did refer your keys, yet may have made some mistake in arriving to correct ID.
Gurumurthi ji ... you may be correct too.
Here are other photos of the same plant at same time.

Thanks Dinesh ji for complete plant. It is surely E. neriifolia. Any how posting only the tip as you did in first photograph can be confusing, as in this case.

I agree Gurcharan ji. Many thanks Gurumurthi ji.
The crux of this particular post is just putting names of the plant in various languages of our country.
Copy-pasted my work from this Euphorbia neriifolia page at Names of Plants in India.
In that site, the photos put for any species discussed, is from an angle of Mother Nature as an artist.
My thanks to both of you for validating the ID.

And I am very happy that no post escapes keen (validating) eyes of efloraofindia.

Regards.
