I’m no electrical engineer but I would imagine you’d have some significant transmission issues across the Arabian Sea. Do other nations transmit power through undersea cables?

Edit: found this is the current record; UK to Norway

So apparently there are some long ones

Currently the longest inter-connector is the NorNed cable between Norway and the Netherlands. At 580km, it is the longest submarine power cable in the world, with a capacity of 700MW. However, the very latest cable technology has the potential capability of reaching up to 1,500km.
