See this tree on a hillock near Pune, MH in Jan 2019. It was seen next to a temple.
Requested to please ID.
Not A.indica. Can you post the pictures of leaves. Very doubtful ID: Melia dubia. But not sure as the structure of the leaves are not seen.
It looks like Ailanthus excels In Delhi, I never observed Alianthus almost leafless.
Ailanthus excelsa महारुख
As I mentioned, in Dehli it is not that leafless.
