Oops, My bad. Looks like Padenia transversa is the correct ID. The other species is not found in south India, so this one seems correct.

Thank you ashimgogoi.ag and Ornithoptera80. :) The ref link shows Padenia transversa. Few more links : https://www.mothsofindia.org/sp/356356/Padenia-transversa https://indiabiodiversity.org/observation/show/15099104?lang=en It seems that species under Genus Padenia are named based on the region/country they're found (correct me if it is wrong)
