Yes it is Pseudomussaenda flava of Rubiaceae family.
I wonder whether it is in the natural habitat/forest away from
habitation. Is this species plenty there?

Hi Giby,
It was on the way to Rajmachi, near Tungarli dam, which is surrounded by bunglows having private gardens..might have escaped.

Thank you very much for the additional information.
Would you please keep an eye on whether there are fruit set on this,
if time permits.

Thanks and Regards,
Giby
