I think you are just using some extreme numbers to generalize across India. 3-4 hours to travel 60 miles you say? It takes 1 hour to drive 20 miles in Austin during office hours! So with your logic I should generalize that to the entire USA.
The roads are narrow and dangerous, which also means that they are unreliable and slow. For example, it can routinely take 3-4 hours to travel just 60 miles, in a passenger vehicle. The issues only get worse if you need to move a large amount of materials or goods.
Many commercial and residential complexes in India do have a backup power source, but I don't think it would be feasible to run a factory off that.
