About 20 years ago there was a problem with Indian electrical cables on the market making their way into supply chains. Conductors were undersized, armour undersized, PVC crumbly or gummy. Fire risk, early deterioration, dishonest specification, poor materials.
For whatever reason, despite having the brains to understand, Indian engineering can end up shoddy. I think it is a reluctance to object to shoddiness by contributors, they dont like to stand firm against bosses etc. (it's increasingly like that here) fearing repercussions. So things like this happen due to human factors.
This could just be a accident, but there is a cultural factor that makes accidents more likely.
