Thanks for the link, Agnes. I have reached an ID that looks right. It's Dictyophara asiatica.
Thanks Mayra.

Lovely spotting, Harsha. It's from family Dictyopharidae and looks a lot like a Dictyophara sp., however, genus needs to be confirmed since Dictyophara does not seem to occur in India. - http://hemiptera-databases.org/flow/?pag...
