Some of the smartest colleagues I had at Yahoo were based in India. The way Yahoo worked, all interesting projects/teams were based in SNV with satellite offices working on maintenance projects and legacy stuff. So sunsetting of projects might explain this.

If this isn't related to cost, what is it related to? Quality? "Consolidation" is a bit misleading if so.
Seconded on more sources needed.
Cutting employees in India instead of US or Europe is clearly not a way to reduce cost.
So it's quallity?
Providing they are of equal skill, that's true. The article suggests it's not because of cost, that just leads me to ask why they would do it.
I don't know the salaries of Yahoo US vs Yahoo India, but please explain how cutting employees in any country isn't a way of reducing costs.
Presumably cutting down 2000 jobs in India would achieve the same cost saving as cuting ~500 jobs in US/EU.
