Thanks, Nuwan, definitely the same genus, maybe even the same species. Unfortunately I did not found any similar match of this one.

Eois is a neotropical moth and not found in India/Sri Lanka. I would agree with Geometridae, but I am not 100% sure if it is be a Sterrhinae, but the shape looks not bad for it.
