A reply from Manoj Chandran ji: "Yes. It is Diploknema butyracea, also known as Aesandra butyracea, Bassia butyracea and Madhuca butyracea. Locally called Cheura. The fruit pulp is edible. The flowers are good for nectar for honey bees and the most important use is the use of seeds for extraction of cheura ghee, which is edible and used widely for cooking in Western Nepal."
