As it is known that boiling the tea for a quite some time extracts tannins. But, that is the only way I know of making strong tea.
Cup size: 150 ml.
I put 3/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of water in a vessel with 1/2 tbsp of tea and 1/2 tbsp of jaggery on a slow flame, and let it boil for some time.
What is other way to get a strong cup of milk tea?
Is there a way to get a strong cup of tea without boiling tea at all?
This is the tea I use:

These leaves are totally crumbled.

As a general rule for tea, milk tea or otherwise... You can make it "stronger" a few ways. Increase the amount of tea, increase the steep time, increase amount of tea or raise the temp.
I would suggest trying it in that order.
Also, not entirely clear from your question, but it appears that you're adding the tea to the cold liquid? I'd probably heat the milk/water to about 80-90C before adding the tea. If for no other reason, than making it more predictable/repeatable as to how long to steep for.
