I’m actually surprised this does not happen more often.
Unless things have changed, you will not find a single grooved runway in India.
You can get the spoilers out, but you bounce along the uneven surface with your wheels hardly in contact with the ground. Add standing water and it gets really fun.
27 is really long, but has a 500 m or so underrun.
Not to mention the chance of running into a heavy rainshower anytime during the approach. Or just after landing.

Expect anything, including someone stealing the localizer antenna.
