We had such a tree in the government house allotted to my father in Mhow, Dist Indore, MP where we lived from 1969 to 1972.
If I remember rightly the locals used to call it 'Gondi' and we used the pulp of the fruit to stick labels and make scrapbooks. The local boys used to eat the fruit. Pradip Krishen in his book TREES OF DELHI also identifies Cordia gharaf as 'Gondi'.
