commonly known as: shrubby spiderwort
unfortunately not a single name in any of Indian languages found on internet or books available with me !!

at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary, Maharashtra

Dinesh, this seems like an interesting and rare find! I could not find it in the Flowers of Sahyadri books, or any other that I have. Although the pictures agree with the descrïption from Flora of China, I could not find a picture to compare with.
Absence of Indian language names is another curious aspect! But great job!
It is on the site now
