A lot has to do with the way the wave energy is funneled along the coasts.
The Bay of Fundy here in Canada gets some of the highest tides in the world, primarily because of its funnel shape. Some of those areas in India have similiar funnel shapes that focused the wave action in to an increasingly smaller area.
