Could be one of the Pachystachys species.

It was in the park you took us around, Nageswara Rao Park.
You will be unhappy to hear that they have drastically chopped the branches of the Cocoloba uvifera. It has been almost covered by a Prosopis juliflora.
The Clusia rosea is blooming now. I’ll post the pics separately.


Pachystachys spicata & Pachystachys coccinea are two different species as per The Plant List:
