This was in my garden yard today... seemed to be lazy. Was quiet even when I shifted it to a sheet of paper to photograph it. Hadn't seen this in the yard before. Which is this?
CLOSED: Longish beetle to be identified
A long-horned wood-boring beetle (family Cerambycidae); it resembles some species in the genus Xystrocera - see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Xystrocera_body.jpg for an example.
More than 1500 species in this family have been reported from India; see https://www.nbair.res.in/Databases/Cerambycidae/index.html
Thanks Flap. Will go for X.globosa.
