Fruit piercing moth, tomato, Gujarat, India

October 2016. In our tomato fields at night, we have observed moths piercing the tomato fruit. The moth is around 35-40 mm.
Can anybody help me identify the moth please.

It is Eudocima materna (Linnaeus) (Noctuidae). See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudocima_materna.
