Solution

Hi @Yajat_Kaul there are two variants of ESP8266 NodeMCU out there one with CH341 and other CP2102 as USB to TTL converter. So you've to install drivers suits to your module. Please confirm version. I'll suggest sharing picture of your esp8266. Also, try with other good quality MicroUSB cable avoid using cable from mobile chargers. Here is official link for CH341 drivers https://wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_EXE.html
