I was able to do it with

# for >= v1.3
mix phx.new --version

# for < v1.3
mix phoenix.new --version

after navigating to the folder containing the phoenix app. I got the cue from here. Hope it helps someone facing the same query.

In case, you already have older version of phx.new, you can try

mix local.hex
mix archive.install hex phx_new

commands to upgrade phx.new installer

Just as a heads up, the `phoenix.*` tasks are deprecated in v1.3. This may still work for now, but you will want to use `phx.*` tasks going forward. – Justin Wood Jun 09 '18 at 12:12
@JustinWood Thanks for the info. I have updated the answer with this info – palerdot Jun 09 '18 at 14:55
It is actually 1.3+ where you would want to use the `phx.*` tasks. – Justin Wood Jun 09 '18 at 14:57
