I think it is Lagerstroemia sp. Most probably L. speciosa

i think this is Lagerstroemia Speciosa

Pl check it for Lagerstroemia.

what is the size of the pod (seed)? what about the bark? Smooth? Could it be Venteak? The leaves in the picture are tender leaves, what is the colour of the leaf on the underside?
Lagerstroemia mieroearpa

I think it is Lagerstroemia parviflora
my thought of L. parviflora was because of the wider distribution of the particular species

‘Big seed pod’ is quite relative. If the pod is 2-3 cm then it can be L. speciosa, if the pod is just 1 cm it can be L. microcarpa. Yes, the leaves appear tender and size shape of mature leaves would have helped.

 
Is this Lagerstroemia tomentosa ?- From Pune:   This medium sized tree was photographed at a hill near Karbhorwadi village, ( Dist- Pune). Lagerstroemia for sure..but plz confirm the species.

It might be, but L tomentosa isn’t a wild species in Pune, as far as I know.
