My guess was this cable was for Telecommunications rather than electricity

and might help explain:
Subscriber Growth in Telecom Sector in India
-------------------------------------------------------
Wireline March 2007:40.77million
October 2011:33.19million
Wireless: March 2007: 165.09million
Oct 2011: 881.41million
Internet March 07:31.3million
March 11: 381.40million

and the uptake of localised Solar/Wind and inverters and storage are pretty
standard where large scale fossil fuel generated electricity & water utilities
are unreliable.
