Comment (by kleft):

 I can imagine this could may be an inaccuracy of the geoip-db used by Tor.
 Several public db lists contain an indian location for 120.29.212.x -
 120.29.221.x although they are actually operated from different countries
 according to the APNIC Whois. Traceroutes from de_DE to .217 end up in
 Tokyo while connections to .212 were served from Mumbai.
