The firm I used to work for outsourced a large amount of initial setup on an extremely large (billion dollar) project to Mumbai...the quality of work that came back was substandard at times, and we ended up re-doing a large amount of the work in house.
I personally dealt with several of the CAD techs in Mumbai, collaborating on a smaller piece of the project, and found that I needed to be extremely specific with what needed to be done, and had to check in with them several times a day, which was tough considering the massive time difference.
I'm not sure how much my firm saved farming out some of our CAD work, but in my experience it certainly wasn't worth it.
