Dinesh ji has suggested Hymenodictyon orixense at iNaturalist <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/338103371>. "Hymenodictyon orixense
This is just my guess. I referred Shrikant Ingalhalikar's *Leaf-based Identification for Trees of Sahyadri*. In the Western Ghats I have seen the emerging foliage to be reddish, however here it shows green. I think it could be depending on the local climate and environment in the Nilgiris.
