Dattaji Salvi Udyan  Thane
Date: May 1, 2018 ... Altitude: about 11 m (36 feet) asl
Ficus lyrata  Warb.
Ficus lyrata that I have seen has rounded leaves. Not pointed.
This could be something else. 
Thanks ... you are correct about posted plant being not Ficus lyrata.
I too was not comfortable with F. lyrata for posted plant.
Will wait for someone to help me with the ID.
The gardener has suggested the ID of Ficus septica, and I am convinced with it.
