It should be Ptychosperma macarthurii. Please check the links
http://www.palmguide.org/images.php?family=ARECACEAE&genus=Ptychosperma

Incidentally, I have four such clumps at the two entrances to our
home. Once again I did not know the name or species, till You guys
kindled the interest by this mail.
Regards
Yazdy.
