Dear Garg ji, Thanks for bringing this up. *Portulaca pilosa* is a cultivated plant, and seems to have naturalized everywhere. This is an almost unmistakable plant with pink-purple flowers. *Portulaca tuberosa* Roxb. <http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:699402-1> is a very different plant with yellow flowers, which is native to India.
