Further obvious holes lined up:

Time of day (0630)-very tired pilots
Low vis
Drenched runway surface
Absence of runway-end safety features-converse in fact-lethal over-run
Mixed-nationality flight crew (Serb/Indian)--communication sub-optimal
Airport ATC poor standard-increases workload

India is a difficult aviation environment at the best of times. Accidents always likely.
