Despite the fact that only 112 B737 800 operate In India as against 411 A319/320/321 B737 is involved in most overruns. Two airlines operate 737. In 2019 monsoon there were 5 over runs in 72 hrs four of them were B737 three from one of them and one from the other. The other had a fatal overrun in 2020. The reason generally is high threshold speed, crossing threshold above 100ft+, incorrect flare and long float and touching down between 1000 to 1600mtrs. It appears that training and checking standards, operating culture is at fault. As far as AP/ATHR procedure is concerned 737 is both on or both off, Airbus recommends to keep ATHR even without the AP but no embargo on manual thrust. And only in auto landing retard call is signal to retard thrust, in manual it's pilots call.
