It depends. For somethings outsourcing to India provides both quality and quantity for a lower cost. For other things ... for example corporations trying to lower costs by outsourcing internal app developement it is definitely a case of lower quality and poorer implementations.
The thing that must be remembered is that many, if not most, IT projects fail not due to the quality of the developers (though many are marginal) but rather due to the lack of clear well written specifications. If the same specs were handed to me as are sent to Bangalore ... I could easily beat the Indians at their own game: Delivering better quality at the same cost in less time.
