I used to visit Bengaluru pretty frequently. The grid is a mess. Besides the very visible - and visibly dangerous - rats' nests of wires just about everywhere, it wasn't very reliable. My colleagues had outages all the time. We couldn't put a data center there for lack of decent power. And this in the relatively affluent parts of a city often touted as a (if not the) high-tech center of the country. I'd guess you're getting downvoted because many here have first hand experience directly contrary to what you're saying. Your experience is what it is, but it's clearly not as generalizable as you make it out to be.
