I guess the closest match is Noccaea cochlearioides (Hook.f. & Thomson) Al-Shehbaz.

Syn : Thlaspi cochlearioides Hook.f. & Thomson

Looks different to me.
After going through all the species listed for India at https://efloraofindia.com/efi/thlaspi/, closest I can go is Thlaspi andersonii (Hook. f. & Thorns.) O.E. Schulz in Anzeiger. as per GBIF specimen (onetwo) and
